This is expected to be the format. But not entirely clear.  Idea is 
for discussion, no presentations or statements (except the opening 
ceremony.)  Of course anyone can send any selected speaker talking 
points on issues.

Also, whoever moderates the session will need briefing, anyone can 
send comments on the theme and related issues to help the moderator. 
We should come up with a process for this civil society input.

I think the person should be able to talk about issues important to 
them as well as cover what we feel key issues for CS broadly. 
<http://www.intgovforum.org/IGF-OpeningSession-301006.txt> for a 
transcript of the Athens opening ceremony (I didn't do Natasha 
justice say the issues she covered were "Gender and ICT", she did 
much more.)

Is this a good model to follow?
