i have no objection 2013/10/23, Roelof Meijer <Roelof.Meijer@sidn.nl>:
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
