[Openstds] DCOS workshops at UN/IGF

[Susy Struble]

Congratulations -- our two workshop proposals have been accepted for 
this year's IGF! We just finalized the scheduling. We're still 
confirming the final list of speakers, but general details are below. 
Thiru and I will get back to everyone with our final list of speakers as 
soon as we can. Again, thank you to everyone who helped to make this 
happen.

If you plan to attend UN/IGF, please let me know. We hope to see 
everyone there!

We are also still planning to have a formal DCOS meeting, but 
time/date/location are still TBD. It would be either Monday or early 
Tuesday to accommodate travel schedules for a few of you who I know need 
to leave early. I believe that we also have an opportunity to report 
back to the main IGF assembly, but I don't yet understand how/when 
that's to happen. I think it might be Tuesday morning from 10:00 - 11:00 
a.m. but am a little confused on this point. Thiru and I will keep you 
informed as we figure out these things.

Robin pointed out in an earlier email that we have the opportunity to 
have what's essentially a booth during the meeting. We'll look into 
what's required for that. If it requires constant staffing, I don't 
believe we'll be able to follow through. If not, it sounds interesting.
