[NA-Discuss] NARALO General Assembly

[Glenn McKnight]

Hi Folks


Without  out  much debate on the merits of the location or timing  .  My
question to the community.

Do you agree that  NARALO  should have  a  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY apart from
ICANN meetings in the next  fiscal period?   Date and location to be
determined

Thanks
