be key to ensure geographic diversification of the new gTLD application program is achieved. We had our first meeting today to address questions the Board put to us on implementing the ASP, but it would be great to get your attendance at the next one on
<b>Monday 4 December at 14:00</b>. Please email Gulten and Rob if you are interested in joining!
