I look forward to continuing to work with you and to supporting my very able successor. With kind regards and many thanks, Lesley

ccNSO Application for Membership .rw
by Roelof Meijer July 17, 2013

July 17, 2013

Dear fellow councilors, We have received an application for ccNSO membership from .rw, the ccTLD of Rwanda. The application has been filed by Mrs. CLAUDINE SUGIRA, representing the cc's manager RWANDA INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATION (RICTA). As you can see from IANA's response below, there are no outstanding issues with .rw. Having our meeting on the African continent and celebrating the ccNSO's 10th anniversary, wouldn't it be nice to approve this application coming Wednesday and have our esteemed and beloved departing chair, as one of her final acts in that role, welcome .rw as member #137? Please let me know if you have any objections to .rw's membership or this procedure before Wednesday noon. Cheers, Roelof Meijer -----Original Message----- From: Kim Davies [mailto:kim.davies@icann.org] Sent: maandag 15 juli 2013 15:34 To: Gabriella Schittek Cc: Roelof Meijer Subject: Re: ccNSO Application for Membership (.rw) Dear Gabi, There are now outstanding requests relating to .RW. thanks, kim On Jul 15, 2013, at 1:20 PM, Gabriella Schittek <gabriella.schittek(a)icann.org> wrote: > Kim, > > Does IANA have any outstanding issues with .rw? > > Thanks, > > Gabi > > On 7/15/13 12:26 PM, "applications(a)icann.org" <applications(a)icann.org> > wrote: > >> Application for Membership >> Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO) >> >> Confirmation E-mail: ceo(a)ricta.org.rw >> cctld: .rw >> >> To: ccNSO Membership >> c/o ICANN Secretary >> Date: 15/7/2013 >> Regarding: ccNSO Membership >> ------------ >> >> With this letter, I, Mrs. CLAUDINE SUGIRA declare that RWANDA >> INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATION (RICTA) is the >> ccTLD manager (as defined in the ICANN bylaws, (Article IX Section >> (4)(1)) for the .rw and wishes to apply for membership of the ccNSO >> and that I am duly authorized to make and sign this application for >> membership on behalf of RWANDA INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATION (RICTA). >> >> RWANDA INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATION (RICTA) >> hereby recognizes the role of the ccNSO within the ICANN structure, >> and agrees, for the duration of its membership in the ccNSO to: >> >> (a) adhere to the rules of the ccNSO, including membership rules; and >> (b) adhere to ICANN Bylaws as they apply to ccTLDs (Article IX and >> Annexes B and C of the ICANN bylaws. >> >> RWANDA INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATION (RICTA) >> understands that: >> >> (i) membership in the ccNSO is independent of any individual >> relationship a ccTLD manager has with ICANN or the ccTLD manager's >> receipt of IANA services.
