[IGFmaglist] Draft Agenda MAG Virtual Meeting V - Thursday, 11 August 16:00 UTC

Wed Aug 3 09:32:13 EDT 2016

Dear all,
I do support Laura's proposal on Pre-IGF orientation webinars/ pre event
briefing material available so that people come to the event being prepared
beforehand. May be we could think of the language versions?
