Re: [council] FW: GNSO Council - Development & Induction Session - Friday 17th October

["James M. Bladel" <jbladel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jonathan & Council:

I thought this was an excellent session, and support its continuation.
However, I think for LA this date conflicts with the IANA Coordination

Thanks‹
