<div>These are great questions, Rafik. I really like Farzi's idea of coming together as the NCSG when we can. But I do wonder if we really need so many sessions together. If the answer is 'yes', I'll be there for them, but at first glance the four morning briefings, two PC meetings, four lunch-time meetings, and the NCUC's potential meeting with a few Board members strikes me all as a little excessive. Might we be able to cut the four morning briefings down to just the one on the morning of the 26th? (I note, however, that this would conflict with the multistakeholder ethos award presentation.) As for the lunchtime strategy briefings, can we also cut this down to one, perhaps on the 28th, as more of a mid-week catch up? I think this would be more manageable for us to arrange, and possibly ensure a larger turnout. <br></div><div><br></div><div class="protonmail_signature_block "><div class="protonmail_signature_block-user "><div>Ayden <br></div></div><div class="protonmail_signature_block-proton protonmail_signature_block-empty"><br></div></div><div><br></div><blockquote type="cite" class="protonmail_quote"><div>-------- Original Message --------<br></div><div>Subject: Re: [NCSG-PC] Fw: Re: Sessions in Johannesburg?<br></div><div>Local Time: 26 April 2017 2:18 AM<br></div><div>UTC Time: 26 April 2017 01:18<br></div><div>From: rafik.dammak@gmail.com<br></div><div>To: farzaneh badii <farzaneh.badii@gmail.com><br></div><div>ncsg-pc <ncsg-pc@lists.ncsg.is><br></div><div><br></div><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><p class="gmail-p1">Hi,<br></p><p class="gmail-p1">Thanks Farzaneh for the requests draft.<br></p><p class="gmail-p1">maybe just to set the expectations right here:<br></p><p class="gmail-p1">- we are requesting 1 hour every morning for outreach AND policy discussion purpose.
