You will see that the letter references the recent Paris meeting that Phil and Petter are expecting to follow up on with the NGPC, GAC Chair and other GNSO representatives. In light of the GAC’s recent Buenos Aires Communique that noted Dublin as a key milestone for resolving the overall issue of IGO protections, we thought you might find this letter of interest.</div></div><div><br></div><div>Cheers</div><div>Mary</div><div><br></div><div><div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri">Mary Wong</font></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri">Senior Policy Director</font></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri">Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers (ICANN)</font></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri">Telephone: +1 603 574 4889</font></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri">Email: mary.wong@icann.org</font></font></div><div><br></div></div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></body></html>
