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
