[IGFmaglist] For today's meeting: Enhanced Cooperation as Main Session/ Content as BPF?

[Lynn St.Amour]

Hi Ginger,

I also would like to thank everyone for participating and I appreciate your kicking it off Ginger.

I do not want to get ahead of the MAG call, and would like to allow the proposer the opportunity to speak to his proposal, but this could be a good way to advance it.  Another opportunity might be for the proposer to work with International Geneva and hold a Day Zero event.

Just thinking out loud :-)

Best,
Lynn
