lol alex garfield is relatively overdressed, but tries to tone it down with his shoes zzz.
this is stimulating but i'm slightly dissapointed to hear them talk about developers and not have Dustin Browder in to give him 2 cents. What could Dustin really say? He is in no position to make any calls on such an organisation. Hell if it happened he properly wouldn't even know it before it happened. Eh, I'd just like some sort of Blizzard/publisher representation This true, there should be a publisher on it. But if they should be represented on the panel, they should also be in a position where they can say things and not just say nice words. Which I think many publishers would mostly do because they haven't really thought about such a scenario. Dustin will be on the panel, 3rd panel topic, "Game developers and esports, how they have embraced the concept and changed their games accordingigly. Please check the website that is listed on page 1 of this thread for the schedule and topics covered. Because some of people only appear on certain panel topics.
Yes he is on a panel where he makes sense. There he has the position to say: "We thought about eSports so we built in an awesome spectator mode". Something where eSports might have changed their priority on features, and as the game designer he was the one making the calls based on what the Blizzard execs wanted.
But this is not what I am discussing with the government body. So please read the whole discussion.
A Rob Simpson would properly be okay. Atleast he is in a position where they know something about the stance on esports from the company and hopefully is in a position where they can give ideas to the execs about non-in-game development of eSports.

I think the Korean guy touched on something interesting when discussing the international olympic commity. In my naive, humble opinion, they seem to be looking in the wrong direction when looking for something to model a federation/governing body over. FIFA, NFL, etc are all centred around a single sport. It's near impossible to emulate such a structure for esports as there are numerous titles with unique requirements. I think the governing body would have to be centred around the same kind of model as the IOC, with individual commities for each game, applying to be a sub-element of the main commity. The game would have to adear to the main commities standards and rules (although tailored to the specific game), to be accepted and it would be the job of the main commity to give reason to the game publisher to become a sub-element of the commity. There is just too much variety for there to be a single governing body like a FIFA. I have no idea how tournaments and leagues would fit into such a commity though.
That's my uninformed opinion, just from watching that panel though. It's an incredibly hard question, as shown in the panel, as they made very little progress. I think Alex Garfield made the best comments though, in trying to just establish something, however small it is.

can anyone summarize what happened and what each person think?
There was also some debate over the best possible structure for an organisation based on pre-existing sports in the west. There was a comparison between American style franchises, state funding, European football and the tennis/golf model.
I honestly think the tennis/golf model is what we should be moving towards with around 4 major events each year that are considered much more important than the rest. The events themselves would be organised by their own organisations so we'd have one MLG, one Dreamhack, the Blizzard WCS and say the NASL or IPL. Other large events would of course be there but the number of top tier events per year needs to remain low in order to not ti diminish their individual importance.
