Call for Presentations Buenos Aires Meeting
by Gabriella Schittek April 13, 2015

April 13, 2015

Dear all, The Programme Working Group is now looking for presentations for the ccNSO meeting in Buenos Aires. In particular, we are looking for presentations suitable for our traditional ccTLD News session, but we are also seeking contributions to a session on "the ccTLD Market Landscape: trends, changes, challenges". If you think you could contribute to any of these sessions, please, fill in this form: Exact title of presentation: Name of presenter: Short summary of presentation (2-3 sentences): Estimated time needed: This information is crucial for our Programme Working Group, in order to be able to plan the sessions. The summary will also be published online prior to the meeting, so that all participants can read and know what to expect. Depending on the amount of proposals, the Programme Working Group can¹t always guarantee a slot to all volunteers, but will have to make a selection. The summary will also be helpful in this selection process. Please, can I have your suggestions by Monday, 27 April. Kind regards, Gabi
