[Ncsg-discuss] [Announcement] Travel Slot for ICANN87

[Rafik Dammak]

Hi all,

After reviewing all applications and discussion, the NCSG EC decided to
allocate the travel slot for the Bali meeting to Pedro de Perdigao Lana.

I would like to thank everyone who applied and took time to do so. NCSG EC
appreciates having a good pool of applicants to select from. We hope that
the applicant will fully use this opportunity to support NCSG activities
during the meeting as expected and participate effectively in the
discussion.

Best regards,

Rafik
