Hi
If interested, please see the below. Apologies if you receive this from more than one mail list.
We are looking forward to the conference next Friday in Singapore. I just wanted to pass along a few brief updates: There have been several additions to the panelists since I sent out the notice below two weeks ago, with one more pending and soon to be resolved, http://www.ncuc.org/singapore2014/programme/ The program page above now has a link under each panel to NETmundial and other contribution of relevance. If one follows those links, you go to a page of background materials, some which are particularly relevant for the particular panels and could be drawn on in their respective conversations. There are still some free seats in the large room ICANN reserved, so if you have any colleagues who will be coming early to Singapore and could be interested, please do direct them to the the conference page and registration page.
