Now you mention it, I wonder if it's even planned to have another e-G8?

It's a feeder into a main topic later in the week (with "Internet" being
one of France's "Common Challenges" (see "Priorities for France" Tab):

<http://www.g20-g8.com/g8-g20/g8/english/-fiches/the-internet-new-
challenges.420.html>

And perhaps there won't be an Internet-related main topic next year.

Last year the summit was about the Economy and International Relations
and the final declaration doesn't mention Internet at all.

There are always "too many meetings" !
