<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
Whatever happened to that ICANN pilot programme which was
to offer selected constituencies and stakeholder groups
assistance with policy research and document drafting? I
remember being told in Helsinki its launch was imminent,
and had an excellent discussion with a consultant from WBC
Global about it. Are there any updates?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
