This I don't understand.  There has been discussion here and I gather in MAG
of the utility of having some workshops that are designated as thematic and
linked to the main sessions, but that presumably does not mean that all
workshop proposals have to fit under the thematic rubrics.  Moreover, there
has been pretty widespread expression of the view (particularly by us) that
IGF shouldn't continue with main sessions defined around these generic
themes, and indeed the draft program outline agreed at the Feb. MAG meeting
does not.  So why then would would workshop proposers be asked to fit their
events under these labels?  It makes no sense; where would an event of
jurisdiction go, for example?

Thanks,

Bill
