by Roelof Meijer Oct. 23, 2013

Oct. 23, 2013

Dear fellow councilors, With member #141 just approved, we have yet received another application, this time from .bj, the ccTLD for Benin. The application has been filed by Abdoul-Akim ADJIBOLA, representing the cc's manager Benin Telecoms S.A. As you can see from IANA's response below, there are no outstanding issues with .bj. Please let me know if you have any objections to .bj's membership before Wednesday 30 October. If agreed, .bj will be member #142. Best regards, Roelof Meijer SIDN | Meander 501 | 6825 MD | P.O.
