[discuss] NETmundial and CSTD mtg

[Nigel Hickson]

Good evening 

Just for the record; there were representatives from the Technical
Community (as well as Business and Civil Society) at the CSTD; and indeed
present (well most of usŠ) till the close at 23.40 on Friday.  We could
speak, though agree was not a simple process.

Best

Nigel
