      <div class="">Ok thanks, but I’m not sure I understand what you’re
        doing.  If you send Gitanjali more than one proposal it’s not
        obvious you thereby increase the chances of acceptance given the
        limited number of slots and the way they plan the agenda. Most
        of the slots will go to groups doing ICT4D.  And five is a lot
        more than one…they might come back and say which of these do you
        want.  </div>

      <div class="">BTW I confirmed today that if you build #5 Chinmayi
        will come.  Anriette not sure.</div>

                        getting the precisely right blend of expertise,
                        as per Farzi’s comment on your first proposal
                        below.  All of us can talk about the role and
                        contributions of CS in ICANN or IG generally.
                         You could just toss in names of people who’ll
                        be there, and if you decide later you want a
                        different mix tweak if after it’s accepted. I
                        assume you and Renata plan to attend, and I
                        expect to be doing another WS and could speak to
                        this if you like. Not sure who else is coming
