Dear fellow councilors, This is going to be yet another successful year for the ccNSO! We have received an application for ccNSO membership from .ee, the ccTLD of Estonia. The application has been filed by Heiki Sibul, representing the cc's manager, Eesti Interneti SA EIS. As you can see from IANA's response below, there are no outstanding issues with .ee. Our colleagues of Estonia are here at ICANN 48 and they are very eager to become a member. I realize this is short notice, but it would be great to welcome them as a member, during our council meeting tomorrow. So please let me know if you have any objections to .ee's membership before the start of our meeting, so that if all is well, we can welcome both .vn and .ee as members 143 and 144 respectively.
