and utilise it to bring some real-time collaboration to NCUC members. We feel that NCUC should be leading the way in bringing innovative collaboration to ICANN policy work and we hope that you will join us in this pilot phase!</div>

before we have our first meeting where we can use its features to bring some real-time collaboration to this new meeting format at ICANN focused on policy discussion and with need of lot of coordination.</div>
