Hi ! my dearest Robin, Thank you so much and congratulations for the great job you're doing since. I am preparing to participate at my first NCSG meeting today. Unfortunetally, I could not use passcode from where I am (Togo in West Africa). So, I give a phone number on which It could be possible to be connected with the Conference Call. Please, do note this : (+228) 928-512-41. Also, from previous experiences, it's also difficult to join from Adobe Connect (a problem of bandwidth probably). I hope to be with you all in few moment, Have a great day ! With my warmest greetings from Lomé. Cheers ! -OLEVIE- 2013/1/13, Robin Gross <[log in to unmask]>: > Dear All: > > Remember this Tuesday, 15 January at 16:00 UTC is NCSG's next monthly > open policy meeting and all NCSG members are encouraged to join the > call. > > This is the monthly meeting between the NCSG Policy Committee > including our GNSO Councilors & constituency reps to engage directly > with the entire NCSG membership on GNSO policy issues, and > particularly the issues to be voted on and discussed by the GNSO > Council at its next meeting on 17 January. > > The draft discussion agenda and meeting details are below.
