[William Drake <william.drake@xxxxxx>]

Hi

Olivier's question being whether our community might be interested in a 
session, I think there'd be significant interest in NCSG in a session on 
SOPA/PIPA and their pending progeny  (of course, since we still have no idea 
what the schedule might even tentatively look like and thus have struggled to 
organize meetings, there's no way to guesstimate our actual ability to attend 
this or other workshops of particular interest).  That said, I agree with Jeff 
that this is not an issue for the GNSO Council to discuss (and disagree with 
him that it's just a matter that effects national law).

Best,

Bill
