[KASWESHA]

Thank you Rafik for the important updates. The travel plans are on high
gear, though for some of us e.g. myself are still waiting for invitation
letter to facilitate visa application I have applied through ICANN's system
and also sent an e-mail but still waiting.

Till we meet in Morroccoh, wish you good time.
