<DIV class=gmail_quote>
<DIV><BR>In the Geo Regions Working group, we have been asked to complete a
template to record our findings about the uses of Regions by our respective
AC/SO, in our case the GNSO. <BR><BR>I asked Robert Hoggarth to assist us in
this task and both of us could not find other references to regions other than
the one in the ICANN bylaws included at the end of this email.<BR><BR></DIV>Is
there any other reference for uses of Regions on GNSO or on GNSO´s
constituencies that we should consider and include in the template? If so,
please let us know during this week.
<DIV><BR><BR>For your reference, I am attaching the example template sent by
ccNSO.<BR><BR></DIV>Thanks and regards.
