[NCUC-EC] Fwd: Conduct at ICANN Meetings

[Rafik Dammak]

Hi Farzaneh,

thanks, quite relevant comment. it is not clear how formal it would be i.e.
several public comments more or less like a PDP or more ad-hoc based effort.

I guess they want to figure out how much the community want to get involved
or get the lead, also about including experts (it seems that is set already)

Best,

Rafik
