[NCUC-DISCUSS] Diversity issues vs personal preferences

[Gustavo Paiva]

By what Thato described I can only believe the session he's referring to is
the Fellowship Week Wrap-Up [C], which happened from 11:30 to 13:30, Thu,
Jun 28 2018 (https://62.schedule.icann.org/meetings/699497). If that's the
case there's no recording available since it was a closed fellowship
session.
However, and this may be an error on my e-mail client, it says here I
received Thato's e-mail at 6AM, 9 hours ago, which would have happened
before the referred session even started.
Is there a possibility you mistyped the date, Thato? While the 28th's
Fellowship Session wasn't recorded, 27th's was.
