Re: [npoc-voice] URGENT - Expression of interest - GNSO NCPH January 2013 Inter-Sessional Planning

["Tracy F. Hackshaw @ Google" <tracyhackshaw@xxxxxxxxx>]

Congratulations Poncelet on your potential participation on the Gambian
official delegation to WCIT.

Also, for those who may not have seen the WCIT delegate listing, I have
noted that Avri Doria and William Drake (NCUC) and Marilyn Cade (BC) are
listed to be part of the US WCIT delegation as Advisers, while Olivier
Crepin-Leblond (ALAC) is listed as an Adviser on the UK Delegation.
