Was observing, not complaining.  As I said, y is interesting and important,
it's just not x.

We already have texts on three of the four themes, and while I find the bit
on global public policies a bit hard to get my mind around as stated, I
could roll with it.  So if someone would draft three sentences for #2 on
ICANN, we'd be done.  But we can't "just send the email now" without giving
people at least a specific time window to respond or we could have post hoc
"wait I didn't agree to that" battles.

Not giving up, just being a member of the reality-based community.  As I
said, if people agree let's propose the themes, but we might also consider
proposing workshops if we want in-depth discussion of the four. Even in the
most optimistic scenario, it seems unlikely they will each be treated
extensively in plenary, given the other preferences on mAG and probably
elsewhere with which they'd have to be blended.
 
Cheers,

Bill
