That's what I meant by "inter-sessional". In other words, anything 
substantial (rather than planning) happening in the 51 weeks between one 
IGF main session ending and the next one starting.

Producing a formal outcome sounds a bit like a negotiated text to me. 
(Not arguing whether that's good or bad, but it's a big change).

Of course, everyone's workshops reports they filed after Vilnius is a 
rather different form of document/product from the meeting.

Quite a short list, and if filing a report is once again a qualification 
for proposing a workshop (in Nairobi) that'll thin it out quite nicely!
