[CPWG] REMINDER | Meeting invitation: At-Large Consolidated Policy Working Group (CPWG) Call on Wednesday, 06 October 2021 at 13:00 UTC

Tue Oct 5 13:41:31 UTC 2021

HI All,
I agree with David. But what OCTO and At Large can do is publish the blogs such as cloudflare which is written for simple explanations or disseminate and OCTO Blog to explain what happened and how it is not really a DNS issue.

Best,
Judith
