But sometimes it is hard when dealing with particularly dedicated first movers who take over the planning of a session and have a different vision. So, for ex, the session on IANA and ICANN Accountability <a href="http://sched.co/1qe8LSK">http://sched.co/1qe8LSK</a> has two panels that are packed to the gills with technical community people and only one civil society person, Avri, on accountability. I did manage to get developing country govt people onto both and Matt as moderator for one, but still there’s no CS on the IANA panel; I suggested Milton but no uptake. Hence the line-up at present is</div><div><br></div><div>Chair [TBD by Host Country]<br> <br>Moderators<br>For Panel No 1 on IANA stewardship: TBC<br>For Panel No 2 on ICANN accountability: Matthew Shears (Center for Democracy and Technology).<br> <br>Panelists<br> <br>Panelists for the NTIA transition:<br><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>• Byron Holland, President and CEO, Canadian Internet Registration Authority, Chair, ccNSO.
