Dear colleagues, In the Policy update message from ICANN March 2010 I've found some remarkable information on the growth of the ccNSO membership. The statistics show us the last 2 years the membership increased with 35 members, ending up end 2009 with 100 members. The membership started in 2003. In 2009 11 members came from Europe ... Some graphs showing the statistics on ccNSO membership growth <http://ccnso.icann.org/about/ccnso-membership-august-2003-november-2009.pdf> [PDF, 41 KB] Recently the 104th member has been registered. It looks like more and more interest is coming up from the ccTLD community and ccNSO is investing energy in outreach by launching an You Tube channel. Perhaps a good idea for our community too ... Other messages in the Policy update from the ccNSO are 1. ccNSO Approves 104th Membership Application <http://www.icann.org/en/topics/policy/update-mar10-en.htm#3> 2.
