[npoc] Re: Invitation to be an NPOC panelist in Toronto for ICANN 45 - gTLDs/NGOs Session

[Alain Berranger <alain.berranger@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bruce,

Great! Let's see what Monday time slot ICANN gives us. Marie-laure will
follow-up with Glen re your possible conflicts and get back to you to
confirm it is possible or not to have you on our panel.

Thanks a lot for making yourself available. It should be a very interesting
session.

Best, Alain
