Speakers sought for ccTLD News Session Durban
by Gabriella Schittek May 27, 2013

May 27, 2013

Dear all, We are now looking for speakers for our popular ccTLD News Session at the Durban meeting. If you have interesting developments or changes to report from your registry, please let me know by 31 May, at the latest. I would be grateful if you could let me have the exact title of the presentation, name of speaker and a short summary (2-3 sentences will do). As we normally have more volunteers than available slots, we can't, unfortunately, grant a slot for everyone. The Programme Working Group will review the feedback and will make a choice - however, we are always doing or best to accommodate as many presentations as possible. Kind regards, Gabi
