[Npoc-discuss] Special event for NGOs during ICANN Marrakech meeting

Tue Jan 5 14:12:43 UTC 2016

Hi Klaus,

Yes, I think the proposal is a good one for Marrakech.  We have to keep
promoting the education at each of the conferences.

Might I suggest  we work with a local organization as the co-host and they
can help make the arrangements and invitation list to local organizations
as well.  The local organizations can become members of NPOC.
