Re: [gnso-raa-b] Draft Presentation on Initial Report for Monday's Session

[Avri Doria <avri@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

As I mentioned  in a private email (which have gotten lost in the ether between 
my flights), Katitza Rodriguez, perviously of EPIC and now at EFF  (and also on 
the IGF MAG) but participating in her personal capacity will be in Brussels and 
is prepared to talk from the floor if need be, but will, I assume, gladly speak 
from the dais if invited.  I am more then willing to pass on an invitation if 
it comes to that.

a.
