13:21:53 From Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org to Everyone:

13:22:07 From Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org to Everyone:

13:22:32 From Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org to Everyone:

    Thank you
13:26:51 From silvia.vivanco to Everyone:
    I believe the 20 mins were allocated as the actual GA has only 10 mins in person
13:29:11 From Remmy Nweke @DigitalSENSE Africa to Everyone:
    Is this not agenda for pre-GA webinar?
13:30:03 From silvia.vivanco to Everyone:
    Action Item: for all OC members to make comments into pre-wEBINAR agenda by 12 UTC tomorrow
13:30:47 From silvia.vivanco to Everyone:
    I think the purpose is to prepare the members so they have an understanding of the topics and come prepared
13:31:23 From silvia.vivanco to Everyone:
    To participate actively particularly on institutional items such as metrics (which is an old document) and the ROPs
13:31:40 From Abdeldjalil Bachar Bong,AFRALO Secretariat to Everyone:
    We need to have 10 min as free Talk time to Member to ask more question about GA
13:31:42 From silvia.vivanco to Everyone:
    As well as to have a preview of the topics
13:32:14 From silvia.vivanco to Everyone:
    Are all speakers supposed to be invited to this prep webinar?
13:33:54 From Abdeldjalil Bachar Bong,AFRALO Secretariat to Everyone:
    @Silvia i don't think so , just to annonce to member about GA
13:35:01 From silvia.vivanco to Everyone:

13:35:31 From silvia.vivanco to Everyone:
