SV: [governance] space on Nov.11th

Tue Sep 25 06:16:29 EDT 2007

Perhaps use the room in the afternoon (or late 
afternoon) for some kind of open meeting, IGC 
meets civil society, briefs on the weeks events, 
some background etc.   Offer time to the new CS 
working group on Internet governance, any of the 
regional SC organizations that are there.  And 
when giganet's done, have a caucus meeting?

Morning primarily Latin America region. Afternoon international?
