All appreciation Subi, and Constance for the great preparation as well as Paul and Izumi for the input that I share as well.

I suggest someone like Jimson Olufue, chair of AfICTA, member of CSTD and member of higher committee of NetMundial and ex Member of MAG as a candidate to that list of panelists/speakers representing Business community from Africa ...

>> Subi, thanks for this.
>> 
>> I'm glad to see the session is going ahead - very important to have a space in Turkey to discuss the future of IG, especially following up from Netmundial.  I hope in fact that the "future of IG" will be seen as part of IGF's ongoing scope.  If we can handle it, in a way which is both trusted and productive of useful developments, then the IGF can continue to stand alone, without the need for additional events like Netmundial.
>> 
>> On this proposal, I think more work is needed on the speaker list: although these are all great speakers and I hope all will contribute to IGF 2014, I think we need more attention to balance and "new faces".    I'm not quite sure of the function of the "A" list of speakers - but it has a majority from I* organisations, which I think is not appropriate for a session which is about Internet governance broadly.  I'd suggest we need one or 2 from the tech community (e.g. ICANN and/or ISOC, but this community can select), and then a wider range of interesting folks more from other sectors - e.g. content industry, consumer advocates, media/journalism, NGOs.  Even without casting the net too widely I think there are plenty of candidates from previous IGFs who could add the interest that this session needs.
>> 
>> Maybe you could explain more about the A and B lists and how the session will be structured, but I personally see the need for more variety and new faces to make the session really engaging.
