[icann-see] Draft SEEDIG contribution to the IGF intersessional work - Call for comments. DL: 12 Sept.

[Anja Gengo]

Dear Sorina,

Many thanks for sharing the draft with us and for your hard work on
gathering the main points from the DD session and additional formatting.

The content looks great to me and I believe it will be a significant
contribution to the CENB II. If you will need us to work on anything
specific, please don't hesitate to contact.

Best regards,

Anja
