AW: Non-Commercial "cultural" cocktail at Nairobi

[Mary Wong]

I echo everyone's gratitude and appreciation - Alex, this will not just
be a unique opportunity for those of us fortunate enough to be able to
visit Nairobi to see the famous National Museum, but also a wonderful
way for non-commercial actors within the Internet space to get to know
one another and to meet new friends, particularly from the African
region. Thank you so much for organizing it!
 
As for shuttles, some of us will be at the main conference center until
at least 5.30 p.m. (e.g. Robin and I will be on the Trademarks panel
till that time). Depending on the time of the shuttles, there may also
be a need for at least one from the Sarova Stanley (where the NCSG
Councillors are being housed).
 
Cheers
Mary

I take it this means "reserve a place for me":) We look forward to the
evening?
