Ok, lets see what others think and discuss this during the conference 
call on 9th of March. From my point of view "Public Governmental Linked 
Data" sounds a little cumbersome. I also think if Linked Data is finally 
used within and between governments for rather access restricted data 
this is fine with me too.

Ok, so what's your suggestion? The additional information is only for 
the selection panel, so it won't appear publicly. I want to list there 
every project and organization, which is important to achieve the 
objectives of the networking session and signalized some kind of 
"informal" support in the sense of supporting the preparation, helping 
to raise awareness, active participation in the networking session etc. 
I think it would be a little overkill for this kind of event to 
formalize this more, but feel free to make concrete suggestions, if you 
think that I'm wrong.
