Re: [gnso-dow123] Agenda for Privacy Conference - Open to All -- 11/29

["Jordyn A. Buchanan" <jordyn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For those not on the call today, I want to make the point again that  
this workshop is not an official activity of the Task Force or the  
GNSO, but is sponsored by two individual constituencies (the NCUC and  
the Registries) and PIR.
