Re: [npoc-voice] NPOC's Chair report to the GNSO Council today October 17th, 2012

[Olivier Kouami <olivierkouami@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello dearest Eduardo and Alain,

Congratulations for the great jobs you're doing there in the name of NPOC.
I would like to have a copy of these presentations of Dr Sam
Lanfranco, Rinalia Abdul Rahim and Evan Leibovitch of At-Large. It
will be really useful for me to have them for a better preparation of
the similar event I've planned to realize in december here in Togo : a
round table on the same topic of MSP.
It was really difficult for me to follow up the meeting online despite
my availability. I think it's was a problem  of bandwidth or something
like that ;-)

God bless you with your work.
Cheers !
-Olivier-
