Effort made getting the proposals in is very much appreciated. I know
it wasn't easy.  But a couple of organizers seem to have asked for an
extra couple of days to finish off their proposals.  I don't know who
or why, but am happy to give people the chance. As we asked for
everyone to try and include all stakeholders, I am expecting some
civil society colleagues might be involved.

I want the MAG to be liberal in how we judge workshop proposals and
setting a precedent about the deadline might be unhelpful when it
comes to the selection process. I want as many viable workshops as
possible, they are the key part of the IGF.
