<p>Hi Martha, </p>
<p>That is a very good idea and we will record the main sessions and
make the recordings available. </p>
<p>This is a small workshop for those involved with ICANN's Pilot
Policy Project in 2022 and working to help NCSG. It's an
experiment, and if it works well, I hope we can expand it at
future meetings.</p>
<p>Best regards, Kathy<br>

recording be made available🙏🏽 for those of us not attending

were many deserving applicants for the travel slot, but<br>
after deliberation and considering all the Motivation
