[governance] IGF 2012 / Call for Workshop Proposals / Deadline - April 12

[Adam Peake]

Izumi,

Given that any amended text might raise further objections, perhaps
the simplest thing to do is delete rather than add.

Make the last paragraph:

How the actual “improved” IGF remains relevant will be the central
focus of this workshop.

Removes the text Parminder doesn't like.  And makes the same point.

Best,

Adam
