[gnso-rn-wg] Re: Kick-Off Meeting for RN-WG

[Liz Williams <liz.williams@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone

Thanks to Chuck for sending this information out.

Please let me know directly if you need any additional information  
beyond what Chuck has sent.  I haven't sent it directly to the list  
just yet because I don't want to overload you prior to the first  
meeting.
Kind regards.

Liz
