Participation of underserved countries in ICANN 65 in Marrakech

[Farell FOLLY]

Dear Thato,

They narrow the scope because they seek to provide the aid to the people (within the region) who are really in need and are usually underrepresented during ICANN meetings. I can still recall the previous call (share by the former chair Farzaneh) which only emphasised two or three countries from Europe to no avail.
