Dear Robin, I would like to apologize beforehand but I was wondering whether considering that I will be joining the meeting remotely (and in the UK will be midnight on to the wee hours of the morning) I was wondering whether we could kick our discussion with the new gTLDs and the IRT recommendation? Thank you.
