the BC both at the ICANN meetings and at the Sunday eveing
reception.

Dear Members,


As we get closer to the Nairobi meeting, and in light of Gary
having his last day of his extension (vis-à-vis the BC elections)
on Monday, I wanted to note two things.


First, I want to encourage everyone who is planning on attending,
as well as those that plan to get on the call-in line, to let
Gary know by COB Monday so that we who are going to Nairobi can
have an understanding of who will be present and who will be
joining by phone.  This leads to my second point, which is, we
who are present have a wonderful opportunity to engage with
Kenyan business at the reception that WADO and its associates in
Nairobi are staging on Sunday night.  The BC has put on a number
of events like this, but this time I am excited that WADO is
engaged because we should be looking forward to a good turnout
from Kenyan business.  As we all know, the BC needs to expand its
membership roll on a broad global scale, so I am hopeful that
this upcoming event will be a first step in making outreach a
serious part of our new structure.  For these reasons, I
underscore how important it is to let Gary or our Chair know if
you will be attending or not.


Kind regards,


RA
