Thanks Lee.
Jeremy has dealt with this subject some, and I think isnt too disorganized.
What about you and Jeremy co-convene, though I will leave the chief
convening responsibility with you since Jeremy isn't certain he can make to
Hyd. And you have a fairly well organized Karen with you :) she was in the
group which did this workshop last time. I know Schombe less, but am sure he
will be great help too.
So off you go. Thanks.
And I will be there standing by to help in whichever way I can.
For other less tuned in - this is a WG that will try to get a draft for our
proposed workshop on 'role and mandate of the IGF' and also help to organise
it in case the proposal is agreed to by the caucus.
