You'll notice that our Internet Governance Public Session was the
least attended session of the High Interest Topics. That said, it
was late in the day, thus would have lost headcount. <br class="">
<br class="">
The deadline for Hit Interest Topic Session proposals is on Friday
23rd Dec 2016, so we need to file a request this week. Any
suggestions?<br class="">
