But proposals are nominally due tomorrow and as far as I can tell you are completely recasting this workshop, which people might want to discuss before saying this will be one of IGC's main contributions to IGF 2010...

The workshop description already explicitly mentions the emergency response to the Haiti earthquake crisis in the first paragraph, so I don't think it's a complete recasting of the workshop.  Rather, emergency communications are just one application for revolutionary ideas with IG implications.

So I'm inclined to post this workshop proposal and the other two just so that we have our foot in the door, but we will have a lot of freedom to continue discussions and modify the text to make sure everyone is satisfied with them.
