[Chapter-delegates] Internet Technical Leaders Welcome IANA Globalization Progress

[Winthrop Yu]

   Thank you for noting that "ICANN's chat system is on the fritz", Joly.  That 
explains why the call notice provided only landline numbers and not the usual 
AdobeConnect link.  Unfortunately for me, i dispensed with a (home) landline 
about 2 years ago. :)  Guess, i'll have to wait for the archived audio or 
transcript.
