Applications Received:

The LG reviewed the applications received since the last call. For those applications pending, an e-mail will go from the LG to the applicant, explaining why it is pending.

It was agreed that a letter (e-mail and post where applicable) would be sent form the LG to the ccTLD managers on the ccNSO formation, and process for applying for membership.

For the ccNSO members approved, a mailing list will be set up.

ccNSO Members meeting in Carthage:

The LG members discussed having a ccNSO members meeting, that is held after the ccTLD meeting. The purpose of the meeting is to bring together ccNSO members, and others interested in attending, to discuss forward direction. Included in the discussion could be a presentation on possible election process (not only method) and different aspects in the process, and an update from the LG on the current status of things, including practical affect of the transition bylaws.
