This was a good sign for such a diverse group. The group has agreed to accept the GAC’s request to have five representatives in the ICG instead of two as originally defined. The five appointed are:</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>· Manal Ismail (Egypt)</div><div>· Heather Dryden (Canada)</div><div>· Kavouss Arasteh (Iran)</div><div>· Michael Niebel (European Commission)</div><div>· Jandyr Ferreira dos Santos (Brazil)</div><div><br></div><div>The letter sent by the ICG in response to the GAC is available at: <a href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/icg-to-dryden-18jul14-en.pdf">https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/icg-to-dryden-18jul14-en.pdf</a></div><div><br></div><div>The archives of the transcript of the meeting and other related materials are now published at:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/coordination-group-resources-2014-07-18-en">https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/coordination-group-resources-2014-07-18-en</a></div><div><br></div><div>You can also find more information about the oversight transition process, community consultations taking place throughout the region and beyond, and important dates and deadlines in our dedicated section on the AFRINIC website:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.afrinic.net/en/community/iana-oversight-transition">www.afrinic.net/en/community/iana-oversight-transition</a></div><div><br></div><div>Once again, I encourage you to join in the discussions by subscribing to our mailing list dedicated to the IANA Oversight Transition at:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.afrinic.net/en/community/email-a-mailing-lists">http://www.afrinic.net/en/community/email-a-mailing-lists</a></div><div><br></div><div>Your participation is key to the success of this process.</div><div><br></div><div>Looking forward to your inputs.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Adiel Akplogan</div><div><br></div><div>
