Knowing Saul and Jo as I do, I am confident that no disrespect was
intended.  The constraints of the schedule (self-imposed or otherwise)
are more likely to be at fault here.

Looking at the programme ( http://www.okfn.org/wsfii/programme.html ),
it could be argued that those on the Free Culture/Free Media panel are
getting shorter shrift though that probably won't make you feel better
about this.

Personally, I think the CC panel could benefit from another 15-30
minutes of running time if we have all four panellists present but I'm
not in charge of the schedule.
