[AfrICANN-discuss] Delegation: ccTLD for South Susan and IDN ccTLD for Mauritania

[Barrack Otieno]

Hi El and colleagues,

You have a keen eye. The .SS Journey has been long. They have reached where
they are through the support of other African ccTLDs and partners that are
members of AFTLD. The issues you have highlighted will be resolved within
the next few weeks. The South Sudanese Regulator is firmly in control of
the process.

Regards
