Hello all,

EURALO's Bulgarian ALS ISOC BG attended WEBIT this year. We had suggested it in past outreach strategic plans, but due to the local presence of an At-Large Structure, plus the clash with ICANN Panama taking place simultaneously, we did not file any kind of travel request for this.
Kindest regards,

Olivier
