Schedule

Most the discussion sessions in the agenda will begin with the presentation of a short case study. The case study is meant to help illustrate one or several unexpected or interesting ways in which the Net serves as a public good.

After the presentation of the edge case, the session is opened up for general discussion. If needed, a session catalyst will help keep the discussion focused and active.

During each session, we'll work to record and otherwise document what we learn. In particular, we want to capture things like:

• what needs to be researched?
• what do the discussions make us want to do?
• who should we share this information with?
• what things are urgent and critical?
