Dear All: FWIW, I will be in Baku; airfare + hotel is sponsored by LACNIC. Other incidental expenses are my own to bear. I will be a panelist on the Security, Openness and Privacy (SOP) main session organized by Theresa Swinehart of Verizon et. al. We had a preparatory teleconference call yesterday, Tuesday, 30th. Oct. I shall also be a panelist on a Feeder Workshop organised by ISOC-TT (Cintra Sooknanan, Dev Anand Teelucksingh and Tracy Hackshaw) and titled "Internet Governance and Sustainable Development: The Case for Small Islands Developing States. I am also doing duty as a moderator on the main IG4D workshop to which this feeder connects. LACNIC did not request I preview my remarks with them. Neither did they demand I be a booth minder or be in the 'dog and pony' show. - Carlton Samuels ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 *Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* =============================
