## Next Steps
*   Co-facilitators to write the zero draft for the WISSIS+20 in the next few weeks and offer written contributions.
*   ISOC will analyze those papers and share the analysis in the form of a matrix of issues.
*   IAB will have a look at that and also make up their mindset themselves
*   Community is to submit papers before August 8th for the age-based restriction workshop.
*   Community is to submit papers before early October for the IP address geolocation workshop.
