[NCSG-PC] [NCSG-Discuss] ICANN and the Public interest

Tue Oct 8 06:04:42 EEST 2019

Hi Rafik,

I’m a bit overworked this month unfortunately, but I would be happy to
review, suggest and comment on any doc that’s prepared by NCSG. May I
suggest that we take it on the list again and ask for urgent volunteers on
this? Maybe also extent the urgent email to the NCUC list too?

Warmly,

E.
