Intersessional, meeting with the CEO and Board

[Pascal Bekono]

Hi Farzaneh,

I think that Farell made a good point. I think it will be intersting to
have the answer of the board.

My concern is about new gtld, how the board will encourage, ensure a real
development and support of compagnies in developing countries.  Accordind
to latest stat, Accordind to latest stats, amongst 1930 applicants (911
North America, 675 EU, 303 Asia, 24 LAC, 17 Africa)

best,

~pascal
