[NCUC-DISCUSS] [Info] NCUC schedule for Helsinki meeting (27th - 30th June)

[Carlos Raúl Gutiérrez G.]

Thanks Rafik for this excellent overview!!!

Please help me make widely know that there is also a very relevant 
meeting on Wednesday, 15:15-16:45, on the ccNSO-GNSO Working Groups on 
the “perennial” if somewhat neglected issue of the use of Country 
and Territory Names, that will sooner or later land on our 
agenda…..Don´t miss it because some other constituencies will NEVER 
allow for a subsequent procedure on new gTLDs if this is not 
solved…………!!

Cheers and see you in Helsinki
