Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Selection Committee, please find attached our report for adoption by the Council. The report was agreed unanimously by the Members of the Committee.

Following the process as documented in the report, the Committee selected the following four ccTLD members for the Coordination Group:

· Martin Boyle, .UK, EU region

· Keith Davidson, .NZ, AP region

· Xiaodong Lee, .CN. AP region

· Mary Uduma, .NG, AF Region

ICANN has scheduled the first meeting of the Coordination Group for July 18 & 19 in London.  Given the need for those chosen to make travel arrangements, I will assume that unless I receive objections to the recommendation by 11:00 UTC, July 11, 2014 that Council has approved the recommendation.  I have taken the precaution of informing all of the applicants of the Committee’s recommendation, given the urgency. 

Kind regards,

Byron Holland
