Most the discussion sessions in the agenda will begin with the presentation of a short case study. The case study is meant to help illustrate one or several unexpected or interesting ways in which the Net serves as a public good.
== Overview ==


After the presentation of the edge case, the session is opened up for general discussion. The session moderator will provide light moderation as needed to keep the discussions on topic.
Sessions will last 90 minutes. Each session will start with the presentation of an edge case that highlights the issues related to the Net as a public good in that domain.  The edge case presentation will last 20 minutes and the remaining 70 minutes will be devoted to broadening and generalizing the discussion. The session moderators will attempt to move the discussion in a way so that concrete issues related to policy development (organizational and governmental), research agenda (what is unknown and what needs to be known), and technological development (how can technologies be developed to help in the domain) will be outlined.

Since our group size is fairly small we will strive to include everyone in the discussion.
 
During each session, we'll work to record and otherwise document what we learn. In particular, we want to capture things like:
* what was discussed?
* what needs to be researched?
* what do the discussions make us want to do?
* who should we share this information with?
* what things are urgent and critical?

Overview

Sessions will last 90 minutes. Each session will start with the presentation of an edge case that highlights the issues related to the Net as a public good in that domain. The edge case presentation will last 20 minutes and the remaining 70 minutes will be devoted to broadening and generalizing the discussion. The session moderators will attempt to move the discussion in a way so that concrete issues related to policy development (organizational and governmental), research agenda (what is unknown and what needs to be known), and technological development (how can technologies be developed to help in the domain) will be outlined.

Since our group size is fairly small we will strive to include everyone in the discussion.

During each session, we'll work to record and otherwise document what we learn. In particular, we want to capture things like:

  • what was discussed?
  • what needs to be researched?
  • what do the discussions make us want to do?
  • who should we share this information with?
  • what things are urgent and critical?
