[IRPCoalition] Fwd: Details on Lightning & Unconference Sessions Now on IGF Website!

[Marianne Franklin]

Dear all

See below a call-out for feedback on the inclusion of experimental 
sessions at the IGF meeting. IRPC co-hosted one of these lightening 
sessions to develop discussions we had at the two EuroDIG workshops 
<http://eurodigwiki.org/wiki/Category:Accessibility_2016> in Brussels 
last year; in Guadalajara participants responded to the question "What 
does internet governance have to do with refugees?". It is an exciting 
new direction for panel formats and inclusion at the IGF: good practice 
too keeping a session to a maximum of 20 minutes. Thanks to all those 
who took part on the day.

best wishes for 2017

unconference - that took place at IGF 2016. *As new session organizers 
and presenters, we would encourage you all to take a look and please let 
the Secretariat know if all information is accurate.
