All, I would very much like to thank those AP ccTLDs who voted for me, I very much appreciate your support and I look forward to serving the best interests of our region on the ccNSO Council. Congratulations to Katrina also, who also faced the rigours of a contested election to win the Europe seat on Council. And to the new and returning ccNSO Councillors, I look forward to working with you all. Cheers Keith On 13/11/2012 12:46 a.m., Gabriella Schittek wrote:
