[NA-Discuss] Language

[Nick Ashton-Hart]

The region consultation is still going on - every month I'm asked by  
someone within ICANN to get -SOME- response on that consultation from  
the At-Large community.

At the moment, PR is in North America because of the regional  
configuration of the ICANN Geographic Regions. If PR wants to move to  
LAC, again, now would be the time to put that suggestion forward....
