[IGFmaglist] IGF Reform Proposals

[Patrick Ryan]

Angelic,

That's a really good question---we don't actually have anything set up to
discuss this, although I'm hopeful that we can address it at one of the MAG
meetings that has been set.  Alternatively, for those that are arriving
this weekend, I would love to get together----say, on Sunday morning----to
host a discussion.  I also think that it will be important to see if we can
collect some of the views of colleagues that have not been able to make it
to Bali for various reasons (such as the visa situation), and so I suspect
that the discussion should also include some online elements (email, maybe
we create another Doc that people can collaborate on) so that we can hear
their views.

If you or anybody has any thoughts on that, I would love to hear them.

Patrick
