I would like to see and Emerging issues (technology or otherwise)<br>
session added to the CfP and subsequently 1/2-1 day allocated on the<br>
programme -- an Internet summit without these won't be complete IMHO.<br>
<br>
To break it down to CfP level, I would including the following to the<br>
list of topics<br>
<br>
1. Cloud Computing<br>
2. Open Data/Big Data<br>
3. ITRs<br>
4. Digital Migration (debatable)<br>
5. Cyber Security --- this should be aligned with the one above.<br>
6. etc<br>
<br>
Now to the CfP issue: I think we should send it out asap, because of<br>
time: CfP and a finalized programme are not completely dependent on<br>
each other, we can run the two in parallel. We only have to agree<br>
thematically, then the other pieces we can fill in as we go.<br>
<br>
Also, if we find out we missed a particular topic on the CfP, we can<br>
just directly reachout to subject matter experts with a CfP.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>

Life is the educator's practical joke in which you spend the first<br>
half learning, and the second half learning that everything you<br>
learned in the first was a joke.<br>
