[Rigf_program] Revised Program for Finalizing!

[Miwa Kubosaki]

Thanks, Yannis & Obata-san for these. I am on the run now, but if possible, SEAPA's panel (B3) could move then to B2? For other details, I will come back to you soon. Thanks, Miwa

Dear MSG members,

  Firstly, it is critical that we show the content of the sessions as soon as possible to get many people showing interest in the forum.  Even for attendants from Japan, 3 weeks may not be enough to arrange their schedule.  Thus, I suggest that we should fix the program by next Thursday and put it on the web site by Friday.

  Secondly, I would like to confirm that we will fix the session allocation with Yannis's proposal.  Since we already started issuing VISA application documents with the applicants travel itinerary and since many attendants will come to Japan for not all of the meeting, it will cause problems if we change the date and time for the sessions.

  I strongly support the idea of taking WCIT/ITU out from the title.  What the coordinator and presenters are saying is that they do not like to give an impression that WCIT/ITU may control the Internet.  Basically, the session will not be discussing whether we should put management of the Internet inside ITU regulations but it will be discussing how we should avoid government intervention to the Internet in a rather broad manner than focusing WCIT only.  I think Rafik has agreed in taking it out from the title and we do not have any specific opinion so that we should take it out.

  Unfortunately, after negotiation among potential speakers, Dr.Fujikawa wants to withdraw the proposal of "Social Network Games and Law".  As you might know, the issue is too hot among the newspapers in Japan and any open discussion may be communicated in a bad manner by the press.  Due to lack of presenters for the ILO session, Dr.Fujikawa will put his presentation under the "Protection of Children from Crimes on the Internet" and he will also replace the moderator.  Mr.Kimura will stay as a coordinator but they are considering whether he will make any presentation.  I will make sure that they will make the decision by the deadline.

  Lastly, I would like to propose that we show the presenters and panel discussion speakers separately.  Since many sessions will be constructed in a manner that we have 3 to 4 presentations but 7 to 8 people for the panel discussion, it is better to be clarified in the program.

Sincerely,
Yoshihiro Obata

Dear Program Committee,

Since there are many requests from session chairs about their time slot in order to accommodate their speakers respectively, I have rearranged the program schedule as attached based on the requests and the topic consideration.

In short, changes made as below:
- Plenary 3 (IPv6/4) and Plenary 4 (Law Enforcement) Exchanged
- B3 (Freedom House) exchanged with C4 (SEAPA)
- Remove "WCIT/ITU" from the topic?

I think we shall finalized this agenda these few days so that we can put it online and session chairs can really communicate with their speakers for necessary arrangement.

Following the previous email from Obata-san, we shall collect detail info about the agenda, confirmed speaker list from chairs by 28th June. I will send out emails to all chairs with Obata-san to collect the info separately.

Thank you.

Best Regards,

Yannis Li
