Plenary Session - Robin Burke

Morning people will leave their sessions in time to arrive at BSLC at 12:00 (noon). Lunch will be available then. People should grab their lunch and eat either in the lobby area of BSLC, in room 001, or outside (if the weather is nice). Then by 1:10 they should be seated in 001.

Robin Burke, co-founder of WIT, will speak from about 1:10 to 2:00 on the future of the Internet. There will be an opportunity after 2 to ask questions and have discussion. We will wrap up by about 2:30, when morning participants may go home and afternoon participants will go to their afternoon WIT sessions.
