Dear fellow councilors, We have received an application for ccNSO membership from .bf, the cc for Burkina Faso. The application was filed by Serge Roland Sanou, representing the manager for .bf, ARCEP (Autorité de Régulation des Communications Electroniques et des Postes). I refer to IANA's "all clear" below and request you to inform me of any objections to .bf's membership prior to next week's Council Meeting in Dakar on Wednesday 26 October. Although that might be considered a short notice, it would be nice to approve an application from an African state during the Dakar meeting. Cheers, Roelof Meijer SIDN has a new domain! From 31 October, our office address will be Meander 501, 6825 MD Arnhem, The Netherlands. Our postal address and phone numbers remain unchanged.
