Dear all,

I've been missing all possible deadlines during the past few weeks,
and extended deadline for this is approaching fast - it's this Friday.
My apologies for being so late with this, but sometimes things just
fall on you. I was almost giving up on this but if people are willing
to work on it, we can still make it happen.

As Bill noted we can of course propose several workshops, but we need
to pick one for the ICANN budget request, and that's the one we need
now.

Looking at the proposals I see most support on and off list for the
cybersecurity idea, so I propose to go with it. I note that it can be
tied with Ayden's idea and include RDS (WHO2) from security viewpoint.

Anybody willing to work on the request (and potentially get a trip
to the IGF in Geneva), please jump at this and try to come up
with a convincing description &c:
