that is _not_ the only possible topic, that is the only topic that  
happens to be on the list at this point in time.  I think there is  
lots of opportunity for other possible topics to be added to this list.

i believe they will be helped by lots of strong, focused proposals.  
and as Adam says, the sooner the better.

but please, everyone pay special attention to the opportunity to still  
get in reports on the workshops that show the importance of these  
topics and how/why they were interesting and vital to those who  
participated.

and personally i don't think putting down ISOC, who can be a strong  
and worthy ally in certain battles, is  the best policy.

a.


(still employed by the IGF secretariat for another few days, but  
speaking for myself as usual.  oh yeah, i am also a supporting member  
of ISOC - not that i ever speak for them.)
