Dear Friends
Whilst I support anything that supports participation, I still would
like to question why this program is limited to US/CA tribal members.
There are many tribal groups throughout the world that are
disadvantaged, have specific needs and contributions, and whose voice
needs to be included in ICANN. I encourage all other RALOs , to
implement similar programs.
Yours
Klaus
