So we have two applications - by Oksana and Amine submitted next day after deadline. Andrea says we can allocate two slots but if it precludes us from using CROP for the upcoming ICANN meetings, I would be in favor of using only one slot per meeting. And if so we need to vote on two submitted applications if we decide to accept Amine’s given later submission.</div><div><br></div>
