Hi

Rafik just passed along the info on the staff’s IGF webinar.  In replying to David, I suggested we might also share what members of the community are doing at IGF.  NC will be very active in multiple ways.  I mention some below that may be of interest to members.  There will be remote participation via the IGF website for all these events, so if interested please do join us!

Either way, a suggestion: in addition to whatever staff will be reporting, it might be of interest to share what members of the community are doing at IGF.  I’ll start, perhaps others could add their activities.
