Dear IRT,

Happy New Year! 2018 is starting out with a bang for us.

Thank you and congratulations!

I am happy to report to you that our policy is now scheduled to be published next week. I’ll let you know as soon as I see the announcement.

My sincere gratitude and respect for your contribution and guidance over the past two years.

We’ve overcame many obstacles. How many can you count - why we can’t implement?

Of course, implementation isn’t complete until the policy effective date or dates in our case.

And I’ll write again soon for our next steps but I just wanted to take a moment now and share the good news with you all.

By You All, I mean:


1	Brian Cimbolic	Public Interest Registry (PIR)
2	Crystal Ondo	Donuts
3	Jean-Francois Vanden Eynde	Nameshield SAS
4	Jim Bikoff	Smith, Gambrell & Russell LLP
5	Keith Drazek - GNSO Council Liaison	Verisign
6	Lori Schulman	International Trademark Association (INTA)
7	Michael Flemming	GMO Brights Consulting Inc.
8	Mike Rodenbaugh	Rodenbaugh Law
9	Petter Rindforth	Fenix Legal KB
10	Dennis Tanaka	Verisign

Here is to IGOs and INGOs!
