has, indeed, notified ICANN that there are now 190 National Societies; in her presentation to the GNSO Council in April 2016, this was also mentioned by Ms. Charlotte Lindsey Curtet (noting that the 190<sup>th</sup> was approved and admitted in December 2015:
<a href="https://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/curtet-to-gnso-council-14apr16-en.pdf)">
https://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/curtet-to-gnso-council-14apr16-en.pdf)</a>. The GAC advice specifically mentioning the Red Cross National Societies (March 2014 in the Singapore Communique; June 2014 in the London Communique; and October 2014 in the
Los Angeles Communique) and the ICANN Board resolution granting interim protection to Red Cross National Society names (again, preceding the admission of the 190<sup>th</sup> National Society into the movement) expressly provide for the then-189 National Societies.
Similarly, the GNSO’s PDP recommendations on this point – dating from November 2013 and based on GAC advice up to that date – also mention 189 Red Cross National Societies.
<i>It may therefore be helpful if the National Society names that the facilitated discussions will focus on can be clarified.<o:p></o:p></i></span></p>

advice had sought “the same complementary cost neutral mechanisms to be worked out … for the protection of acronyms of IGOs” for the following four acronyms: ICRC, CICR, IFRC, FICR (Durban Communique, July 2013), which did not include MKKK. The GNSO PDP recommendations
were for 90-days Claims Notification for the four acronyms listed by the GAC plus MKKK.
