[governance] Provisional suggestion – on the structure of IGF (meeting)

[Deirdre Williams]

The way things seem to work these days you might draw more attention
by using a different medium - not a paper but perhaps a short film,
even if the film presents a sequence of interviews.
There seems to be a popular preference to watch and listen rather than
to read. The BBC's Jonathan Charles has attended several IGFs; could
he or someone like him not be co-opted to help persuade the "big
media" to put their money (ie their expertise) where their mouth is?
