Topics for general interest panels at ICANN 67?

[Stephanie Perrin]

Internet access is a real problem, all right.  But it is not in ICANN's 
mandate. We could potentially do a topic on the migration of the 
under-served to platforms like Facebook, rather than the DNS, which is 
partly fueled by the unaffordability of Internet access.  But I would 
caution that this is really on the edge of ICANN's ambit, and therefore 
unlikely to be accepted.
