[bestbits] Revised suggested agenda for Istanbul Best Bits meeting

[Jeremy Malcolm]

This month's Best Bits steering committee took place yesterday.  Due to
Skype connection problems (like many committees, we are still searching
for the ideal conferencing solution) we were not able to have a proper
meeting, so there are no resolutions to report.  However the committee
did work on the agenda for the meeting in Istanbul, which currently is
as shown below.  The outline is based on the results of the poll that
was sent around earlier in the month.

Your input is welcomed.  In particular anyone is welcome to put their
names forward to help moderate a session for the meeting, especially
those that don't have a name listed next to them already (but even those
that do).  All are also welcome to begin thinking about sessions they
might wish to present for 10 minutes during the "Policy slam" session
before lunch.
