[bestbits] IGF 2014 Final agenda for Day 0 NETmundial event

[Paul Wilson]

I suggest to see it both ways.  MAG can conduct Day 0 sessions which are consistent with the programme, for instance IGF orientation/induction sessions, or perhaps for recognised preparatory sessions for main sessions or other parts of the programme?

But I agree absolutely we need to keep the Day 0 space as a free one for independent content, which is supported in terms of space, programme listing, etc as needed.

my 2c

Paul.
