[IRPCoalition] New paper on NN and ZR out today

[Anriette Esterhuysen]

Sharing some belated feedback with Carolina on her paper. Carolina, at
the African School on IG this year (www.afrisig.org) the participants
had to do a practicum on zero rating.

We shared lots of resources, including your paper, and they really found
your paper very useful!

Thanks

Anriette
