[ALAC] [soac-discussion] Internet Governance CWG

[León Felipe Sánchez Ambía]

Dear Evan,

Thanks for your kind words.

I am also happy to see how this joint effort grew very quickly and with very little need for recruitment.

Brazil is just a few months away and it’s great to see we are already on track to begin working.


Allt he best,



León
