Hi
It's really interesting reading people's stories about Alain and his many
interests outside ICANN ( which is refreshing to hear)
The last couple of years I managed to capture a number of images and video
of NPOC and Alain so we have his eloquent and thoughtful insights
recorded.
Here is a playlist of the NPOC Sessions

He will be missed
