Ahrash just wrote some really good questions about the process of  
submission to the iSummit that I wanted to share:

> differently?

The best case scenario would be that the various track mailing lists  
(http://www.icommons.org/isummit08/labs) start discussing the content  
and flow of their track as a team and then, as they reach consensus,  
upload those onto the official pentabarf system. I've put up a draft  
structure here: http://wiki.icommons.org/index.php/ISummit_2008/ 
Education of how you could start organising things within your track.  
Once it becomes clear who is facilitating which session, then people  
can start to take more responsibility for single sessions within the  
broader framework of the track.

Also remember that each track will choose one session e.g.  
'Introduction to OER (open educational resources)' that will take  
place in the main conference hall and will be simultaneously  
translated. This will form the basis of an overview track at the  
iSummit for those who want introductions to each of the major themes.

Best,
Heather.
