[Rigf_secretariat] [Rigf_program] Operating Framework for PC

[Paul Wilson]

Thanks Izumi - +1 on the need for complete clarity.

I think the MSG determines the programme of course, but also the themes of the event, the overall structure (including inputs and outputs/reports), "interface" with other IGF events etc.  .

Certainly not logistics, finance, publicity or anything of that nature.

I think division of layout should emerge clearly enough, if respective roles/responsibilities are clear.

The other issue is participation of course; whether it's to be a programme committee or MSG, whether self-selected or appointed somehow, the group should demonstrate a multistakeholder approach with (hopefully) good balance, and a membership of active and credible individuals.

What do you think?

Paul.
