Interesting for me. .vn registrations up to 1 million. Great move. Practical discussions. We exchanged ideas on what to do next. Stronger relations between registries? Qing Cai: good opportunity to speak about common challenges and opportunities. Next time, have one project with different ccTLDs. Same goal. AI to different countries. Merely a suggestion.
