[WSIS Edu] Re: internet governance panel organization...

Dear Divina & Jane

Unfortunately, I am suffering heavy pains as a consequence
of an unlucky violent lateral fall into a sitting position
on the tailbone ( coccyx and sacrum ),
while repairing a vintage car of mine, in the countryside.
I have severe sciatic nerve pains and I cannot stay seated
which prevents me to work on a computer.
Since all my customary MDs are in vacation, and poor
service in Hospitals, it is only
now that I was able to make the correct diagnosis of
the cause of the  sciatic nerve pains.

The only thing that I may suggest is to send a short message
saying the WSIS-EDU and WSIS-EDU are proposing an IGF workshop
without any further details. Just to break the deadline.
Details will be sent later in September.

Please Jane, could you do it, I am not sure if tomorrow,
I will be able to send this message.

Bests

Francis
