[governance] Programme outline and schedule released

[Jeremy Malcolm]

For those who haven't seen them, the IGF Secretariat has just released a 
draft programme outline and schedule for the Rio meeting which are 
linked from its Web site at http://www.intgovforum.org.

As we might have expected, they do not provide any plenary sessions for 
the discussion of the IGF's role, Internet resource management, or 
future Internet governance arrangements.  And rather than reducing the 
overlap between sessions, there is now more overlap; with between six 
and seven concurrent streams.  These include a new session for meetings 
of dynamic coalitions, and a new "open forum/best practices forum".

I don't think that I have said so yet, but I am happy with Parminder's 
suggestions for input into the May consultations, as amended in the 
light of others' comments, and would hope that consensus can be reached 
on it before 17 May so that it can be reflected in the synthesis paper 
rather than only being presented verbally.
