Hi Martha,
That is a very good idea and we will record the main sessions and make
the recordings available.
This is a small workshop for those involved with ICANN's Pilot Policy
Project in 2022 and working to help NCSG. It's an experiment, and if it
works well, I hope we can expand it at future meetings.
Best regards, Kathy
