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

[Alain Berranger <alain.berranger@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Poncelet,

We should also invite them to the NPOC meeting as advisers and co-opt them
as NPOC members if at all possible... Let's work out the details once the
LA NPOC delegation is selected and we start the planning for our
Constituency meeting.

Cheers, Alain
