Hi Andy and all,

 

and a good new year to everybody!

It probably will depend on your interests. If you mainly want to be 

there for internet governance, then the first week with the WGIG 

consultations might be better. If you come for the overall action, then 

according to my experience the second week is where things get hot. It 

usually takes them some time to warm up and focus on the conflicts. As 

finance will be one of the big issues for PC2, it might turn out that 

meetings in the second week will be held till midnight again.

 

> Has an agenda been published yet?

Not yet, but a recent change on the official prepcom page includes an 

announcement of travel fellowships for people from LDCs. Deadline is 

January 21st.

 

Ralf <- glad to be there for the full two weeks
