<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white">You may recall I sent this call for applications out on 7/11. I am pleased to report that the NCSG Executive Committee met and decided on the application of Shahul Hameed, in cc, who will be going to ICANN 64 now
as a result of this process. Congratulations Shahul, we look forward to working with you in Kobe, it promises to be a busy meeting!
<br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white">Thanks to all the other applicants, and I would encourage them to try again for the next meeting. For added clarity, I attach below (just before the call for proposals text) the official list of under-served regions,
upon which this additional budget request (ABR) was based.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white">Kind regards, <br>
