yep.  will spell it out.
btw, keeping the draft on line at:
http://www.igcaucus.org/agenda-igc-at-igf.html

needed to have something on line so the room could get scheduled.   
will change it as it changes.

basically.  why they did what they did?  did they succeed at doing  
what they felt they should have done?  I don't know.

could be.  people can start posing them on line.  though i expect a  
more impromptu sort of setting.  and they should know the answers  
anyway.

(my two questions are listed above)

not that many that are CS initiated.

well if we list the workshops, they can get the official write-up - i  
will include the links in the agenda.

good idea.  how do you propose we do that?

i really think this will come later - i.e., this is what we have to  
do after the meeting when everyone is trying to decide whether it was  
a success and trying to figure out where we go from here (there).

well if we only cover the CS initiated sessions, we may have time for  
some dialogue.

much choice other then to try and organize it.
