[IGFmaglist] Proposal for Working Group on Innovative Session Formats

[Marilyn Cade]

I have reached out to Jennifer Chang, w .asia, as one of their initiatives is with youth. She is not on MAG but as their are four youth NRIs, I want to ensure there is input opportunity for them to comment. Anja and I can also ask NRI coordinators for comments.
