Thanks for putting together this, Dimi. There will be many regional and
global policy groups represented at Wikimania this year, so this schedule
of the different policy events will be very helpful.
Minor modification to the list of events: the featured panel
<https://wikimania2015.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania> on Latin America
Internet Freedoms
<https://wikimania2015.wikimedia.org/wiki/Latin_America_Internet_Freedoms_Panel>
with
Katitza, Paz, et al. will be at 16:30 on Friday (not Sunday).
Thanks,
Yana
