[AfrICANN-discuss] INET conference, May 18 2009, Cairo

[Dr Yassin Mshana]

Hi,
I think there is typo in the Date. It should not be earlier than July 2009.
Lets see what date  Dawit comes back with.

I am concerned with short notices given for most meetings..... maybe that is
why attendances happen to be very low in some cases. It requires a bit long
especially for those of us who wish to volunteer to attend meetings since we
have to mobilize resources  (eg. Time, Travel and Costs)

Good luck everyone
