Hi all:
here in Malta at the conference organized by diplofoundation.
Papadatos gave a rather detailed presentation at the last panel on
and about the proposed meeting in Greece and the IGF as well. The
extent of detail and possible structure of the IGF was quite detailed.
I don't think that the formal OK has been given for Greece to host
the IGF first meeting and the secretariat , but it sure was presented
that way.
Jeannette , Adam, Avri, Karen, Jovan and Bertrand are also here. Will
be interesting to hear their thoughts on Papadatos's presentation.
regards
Robert
