[governance] Greek presentation @ Malta/Diplofoundation conference

[Robert Guerra]

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
