                  Alain mentioned previously that NPOC is organizing a workshop session at Beijing.  I should add that NCUC is organizing a session as well, which will be held Wednesday 10 April from 13:00 - 15:00 local time.  The program team is working on the agenda, and we'll be back to you with details when ready.  We'd originally hoped to be able to do a full policy conference like we did in Toronto and San Francisco, but we ultimately were unable to secure the space for that so we're settling for a two hour event instead.   We expect to do a full policy conference again in Durban in July.                </p>
