Re: [council] e-Crime and Abuse of the DNS Forum: a global perspective

[Denise Michel <denise.michel@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your email, Mike.  "Narrow mission" is used in the context
of the e-Crime and DNS Forum in which participants will be discussing
(among other things) activities over which ICANN has no control nor
responsibility.  We welcome your contributions to the discussion.

See you at 14:00.

Regards,
Denise
