On that point, please note that we are scheduling the NCUC meeting with members of the IRT for Thursday, from 2.15-3 p.m. Sydney time. Remote participation and other details will be sent around as soon as we have them.
Konstantinos, if you can dial in for that as well, it would be great!
Cheers

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.
Best
Konstantinos
