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

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

Hi Alain,

There was some discussion on this, but I am staying put at home for the
rest of this year (hopefully). The last couple months have exhausted me ...
time to stay home and stay warm. :)

The next big prep will likely be for May 2013 at the WTPF and the WSIS
Forum.
