[governance] IGC Talking Points for Enhanced Cooperation workshop

[Izumi AIZU]

Thanks Lee for the encouragement.

The reason I brought this up even at the last minute is, as the co-coordinator,
I would rather like to be criticized for what I did than what I did NOT do.

Yet, if you look at the program tomorrow, there we have Anriette, Parminder,
and Marilia as the speakers. Other are Mr Toure, SG of ITU, Mr. Nigel Hickson,
Vice President for Europe, ICANN, Markus Kummer, and Marilyne Cade.
So with three speakers from CS, both diverse views and also some common
areas will be presented.

After the initial one our of these prsentations, second session of 1 hour and
third session of three hours are all devoted to "General Discussion" where
I expect many attendees should be able to make comments.  I may try
some ad hoc thing, will be careful in presenting these, not "represent" IGC
nor present full consensus at all.

Any more advices?
