[bestbits] Re: [governance] High-Level Panel Organizes to Address Future of Internet Governance

[Carlos A. Afonso]

Dear Anri,

This is one of the 5 panels announced by Icann in Durban.

It is an Icann panel, not some group who will lead the meeting's preparatory process.

BTW *now* is the time to send the CS statements to BR.

If I can ba of help, let me know.
