coordinating during WCIT

[Gene Kimmelman]

My suggestion is that we connect the people on the ground at WCIT for daily discussions/updates in person.   Then we can work out what non-delegates are in a position to report on to the broader community.  I'm open to any other ideas, but worry that it is dangerous to over promising what can be disseminated over the Internet at this type of convening.

We've been brainstorming possible approaches at CDT (thinking something commercial-off-the-shelf, like Etherpad, would ultimately be more reliable than trying to build something from scratch in a few weeks) and wanted to see what makes the most sense to people.
