Dear All

I wish we would spend as much time and energy on IG policy making topics 
as we spend time on the merits of various places around the world to 
host an ICANN Intersessional meeting. Can we talk about what we need to 
discuss t the meeting, the goals we want to achieve and how to get 
there. When we do this, the place might not be of such an importance.

Yours

Klaus

PS: Kuawi, Hawaii. Definitely!
