Hi Bruna and All,

Apologies for the delay.  I am now "on the road" with the book tour.  
Just finished two big event with lots of travel in between (why does the 
US have to be so big?).  Everyone loved the story of the six women who 
programmed the world's first general-purpose, programmable, 
all-electronic computer, so all is well!  Lots of teachers, librarians, 
students, tech folks and community members which was great.

Since Closed Generics was supposed to be on the agenda for KL and then 
was removed from the agenda for KL, I talked with Bruna and we agreed 
that I did not have to cancel my speech commitments in the US (tx you!)  
I tried to fly out on Saturday, but could not, so I am flying out Sunday 
and will arrive on Monday night. I will be at the meeting on Tuesday, 
Wednesday, Thursday and have already started setting up post-meeting 
discussions on Friday (I'm there until almost midnight).

/*Now that an informal Closed Generics meeting appears to be back on the 
agenda for KL, could our Councilors ask it be scheduled on Wednesday or 
Thursday? */Both days are not as busy as earlier days and should have 
ample room for a meet and greet (which appears to be the idea for the 
Closed Generic meeting to take place). With the short notice, I am sure 
ICANN Staff will want to organize when incoming members can join the 
meeting...  I hope so!  Tx so much for letting them know.

Tx for asking, Bruna!

Best regards and looking forward to seeing you in KL,

Kathy
