That is exactly what we did at the Vilnius meeting. For critical 
Internet resources, workshops were scheduled for the first day so that 
they would take place before the main session. Personally, I didn't find 
the result convincing. So far, our experience with reporting from 
workshop have been somewhat disappointing. I don't know exactly why. 
Perhaps the summaries lacked a bit of the excitement we were hoping for :-)
