HI All I started my cancer treatment finally after months of tests and anxiety and the Immunotherapy is a series of two drugs which has your immunity fighting the cancer in your body. Its not without risks. Regardless I will not be travelling in the events for a while but I can participate remotely regular meetings and online discussions. If all goes well in the treatment I will be like to work with the team on making NPOC more relevant and a dynamic force at ICANN. Glenn .
