Good news, Mikey. Everything is close in Singapore. I’m thinking I might come in a day early to catch this as well. Thanks for the reminder.

Subject: [bc-gnso] rIGF.asia -- regional internet governance forum, Thursday and Friday before ICANN Singapore

if you're getting in to Singapore a few days early, you might be interested in this regional IGF event that's happening Thursday and Friday before our meetings start. here's a snippet from their site;

"This year, the second Asia Pacific Regional Internet Governance Forum (APrIGF) will be held at such a propitious time. It will be held in Singapore 16 to 17 June 2011. It will bring together some 300 senior Government and private sector representatives as well as the technical and academic community from across the region to exchange ideas and shape the future of Internet governance in this part of the world."

and here's a link to the site - http://2011.rigf.asia/

i'm planning to attend on Friday, especially the security session from 11-12:30 local time. here's a link to the whole program.

venue is still being determined. i'm assuming/hoping it'll be convenient from the ICANN meeting-venue.
