Proposed teleconference Draft Agenda (2nd draft)




In response to Georgetown's (Samer's) request for a real agenda, and
also because our students are understandably confused at the moment, here
is my proposed "enrichment" of the Draft Agenda - may we just keep
emailing around until we get something we can all be happy about? We only
have about 50 hours left to pull it together - maybe we can even pull
Andrew Vincent out of his Berlin retreat to give us some ideas!

I have only included the players who have already sent at least one msg in
the game.
