Very interesting indeed, Roelof! I suppose the ccNSO has somehow managed to create higher awareness amongst the cc community this year. This is very encouraging. Regards, Vika On 2013/12/04 11:31 AM, "Roelof Meijer" <Roelof.Meijer@sidn.nl> wrote:
Dear fellow councilors,
It looks like were're having end-of-year sales at the ccNSO; we have received yet another application for ccNSO membership, this time from .ck, the ccTLD of the Cook Islands.
The application has been filed by Robert McFadzien, representing the cc's manager Telecom Cook Islands Ltd.
As you can see from IANA's response below, there are no outstanding issues with .ck.
If you have any objections to .ck's membership, please let me know before Wednesday 11 December 2013. .ck would become member #146!
Best regards,
Roelof Meijer
