[PC-NCSG] Fwd: Civil Society Roundtables

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

I sent off the following message to Fadi after the meting.

I got a reply from Chris, and plan to talk him later this week.

Any helpful clues from you all would be great. Especially helpful would be ideas on:

>  Venn Diagram of where NGO strategic interests and DNS developments
> intersect.
