May I suggest that the CFP include a statement that accepted researchers will be expected to provide a copy of their presentation for free distribution online?

I think it is valuable to be explicit and up-front about open access; in this way, open access becomes the norm.

Dear all,
please take a look at the *latest and almost final CFP*. This will debut soon on the icommons site but first I want to pass it through all of you quickly to check for mistakes and ask for your general feedback.
Jonathan Zittrain has agreed to chair the workshop, and I think he is a wonderful fit for that role. As his bandwidth is limited I will help him as co-chair and for now I'm still the main driver of the CFP in any case. I have also asked Tyng-Ruey Chuang to co-chair given his excellent organization of the Asian Commons meeting this year and his links to the broader Asian academic community. As he has recent hands-on experience with organizing a very successful workshop and the iSummit this year will be in Asia, I thought that Tyng-Ruey will be of great assistance, and indeed he has already started contributing greatly.
There is some more additions to the academic program committee, to increase international representation and the mix of senior vs more junior scholars. Please do check that your name and affiliation are correct and appear where they should.
I hope that the above arrangement and the text in the CFP is acceptable by most, if not by all. Do send any comments that you may have. Plans for the speed-geeking session are also underway.
Please also note in the CFP under "Workshop Format" a short paragraph suggesting that members of the academic program committee will be able to submit work as well, but will be subject to the same review process and their participation in the committee will not guarantee acceptance.
best,
Giorgos
