[Rigf_program] APrIGF 2013--India is interested

[Paul Wilson]

Thanks Peng Hwa.

I will be in Baku, and I would very much like to discuss the evolution of APrIGF, including the selection processes for host/venue, and for the MSG.  I don't feel that the criticisms of past performance are warranted or particularly relevant, but I do think that we should continue development of clear and open processes for both of these.

Very happy to join a discussion with you all in Baku.

All the best

Paul.
