I have been asked by the Computer
Society of Kenya, in conjunction with WITSA, to forward the attached invitation
to you to a reception with dinner to follow, organized by the local Kenyan
business community, for Sunday evening, March 7, from 7:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. --
Reception, and Dinner beginning at approximately 8:00 p.m., at the Hilton Hotel
in Nairobi.
My role is this is to facilitate
outreach and interaction with the ICANN community of leaders and business
attendees. The local organizers are inviting the Kenyan business community and
key leaders, and their goal is to have a broad attendance from the global
business and other invited guests, from the global ICANN community. You
will recall that I mentioned this event to you in earlier
discussions.
I am expecting that you are coming to
Nairobi for the ICANN meeting, OR that you have members who may attend, who
haven't registered in the ICANN attendance, and I don't want to miss any of our
colleagues from the ISPs, IPC, or BC community. THUS, even if you are not
attending, but one of your colleagues is, please forward this, and send me an
email so that I can ensure that they are confirmed for all other sessions of
relevance to the business community.
This reception and dinner is a
significant commitment from our colleagues in the Kenyan business community, and
I trust that you will make it a priority to attend. If you have a guest, just
let me know and I'll add that name to the list that I've submitted to the
organizers.
The ICANN Board and senior staff, GAC
leadership and other ICANN senior community leaders are also
invited.
The invitation, attached, provides an
rsvp, to which I ask that you confirm your acceptance of the reception and
dinner.
It would be helpful if you would also
let me know by a cc to
marilynscade@hotmail.com, that you
have confirmed. This will limit the number of messages that I keep
sending you!
I look forward to seeing you at the
Nairobi ICANN meeting, and especially at this special event, organized and
hosted by business leaders from Kenya.
Best regards
Marilyn Cade
BC Chair
