Hi Harry Delano �and all<br>
<br>
To begin with I would like to encourage all those who wish �to attend and<br>
participate at the ICANN meeting to go to<br>
(<a href="http://www.registration123.com/ICANN/Nairobi/" target="_blank">http://www.registration123.com/ICANN/Nairobi/</a>) and register please.<br>
Most ICANN meetings/sessions are open to the public unless otherwise stated<br>
on the programme. Other ICANN constituencies intend to manifest their<br>
support for the Nairobi meeting by registering so it is important that we<br>
also do as well.<br>
For the other questions you have raised, the local organising committee will<br>
soon hold a public/media session to discuss/share.<br>
<br>
thank you<br>
<br>
best<br>
