[ALAC] [Afri-ALS] African Region MoU with ICANN / Process Agreed on Today's Teleconference

[At Large Staff]

Apologies,

There was an extra digit in your telephone number that when all the call out
numbers were checked was missed, our apologies for that.

If you have any problems with conference calls in the future please do let
us know immediately as we monitor our emails while the telcons are in
progress in case anyone gets dropped off the call and we are normally able
to answer a brief phone call if you need to get in touch, for example to say
you have not received a dial out call.

The draft minutes from the meeting will be available for revision on the
Wiki within the next 3 days and the audio recording of the telcon will be
available on the Wiki within a couple of days.

Once again apologies for this oversight.
Susie
