[governance] tick, tick, tick...

[Adam Peake]

I agree with this suggestion.  It's a waste of 
time to suggest people not knowing if they will 
be in Rio or not.

Also, the overall theme is development, people 
from developing nations a big plus.

Last year there was something of an unwritten 
rule that advisory group members wouldn't join 
panels (only one did I think), and I think best 
if the caucus coordinators also didn't 
participate as panelists, that's also been a bit 
of a tradition.

Parminder, have you and Vittorio spoken with 
Markus about how he expects speakers to be 
selected once the names are in?  And could you 
also ask him about the opening ceremony -- it's 
currently shown as a 2.5 hour session, how many 
CS speakers will be required, and specific 
topics?  I have asked him, but better coming from 
the caucus.

Best,

Adam
