[Chapter-delegates] Fwd: ICANN Joint Applicant Support Working Group (JAS WG) webinars today

[Joly MacFie]

Today Sep 19 there will be two Webinars to receive the final report to the
ICANN Generic Name Supporting Organization (GNSO) of the Joint Applicant
Support Working Group (JAS WG)  who have been studying options for assisting
those in developing countries to afford participation in the new TLD
process.

I am sure this topic will be of interest to many chapters, who also might
want to support the group's work.
