[ALAC] [ALAC-Announce] Fwd: ICANN Summit on Developing Countries - Invitation to a preparatory meeting in Singapore

[Alan Greenberg]

I would very much like to be one of those 
representing At-Large at this meeting.

I will gladly provide my input into the Review of 
At-Large WGs prior to the meeting.  I currently 
do not have a conflict at this time with respect to the GNSO.
