[ME ICANN] [MEAC SWG] Kind reminder call for policy topics Re: ME Space @ ICANN 66

Mon Aug 26 21:01:46 UTC 2019

Dear Amr,
I'm happy that I was in fault of noting your proposed topic because we got
extra chance to have more explaintion from you.

I will edit the noted topic to be *Internationalized Registration Data*.

I aslo support considering this issue because of its important relevance to
our region.

Best wishes
Nadira
