[NCUC-DISCUSS] Visiting Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) during ICANN60

[thomascovenant]

Hi Farzaneh and Stephanie,

this is a good point, I do see what you mean with the packed schedule.

There was no agenda, overview of TRA would be of interest to me.
It looks like we have a very small group interested in spending
an hour on it if times work.

Solidarity,

Dina Solveig
