[governance] Merger of workshop "Reflection on the Indian proposal towards an IGF 2.0"

[Adam Peake]

Think there are more workshop proposals this year 
than ever, and the open forums, coalitions etc 
not in yet.  And (Avri may remember better) think 
the number of workshop rooms may be limited and 
the MAG seems to be trying to have less not more 
on the agenda.

A long winded way of saying, we may have to merge 
more then ever this year.  If this is a key theme 
for the caucus, and I think it is, then be ready 
to merge everything else: protect this one and 
give up independence on others.  Perhaps our MAG 
members could do something?
