Dear friends and colleagues,

You are invited to join us for the APAC Space (Web conference) - Discussion on APAC Participation in GNSO (Generic Names Supporting Organization) taking place on Thursday, 21 April at 03:00 UTC | 11:00 SGT.

At the recent APAC Space session in Marrakech (ICANN55), it was agreed that an additional session should be organized in between ICANN meetings to sustain community interaction and communication. We hope that the APAC Space will allow wider participation from the region and encourage active contribution to policy development issues. For those who are unfamiliar with the topic of APAC participation in GNSO, the web conference will serve as an introduction to the discussion as well, so please do join us.

Date: 21 April 2016 (Thursday)
