Thanks, Kathy!

Yes, if we have members in NYC, London, and Hong Kong - we need for them to show up at these IRT Report consultations and make a statement at the microphone.

We also need to find other locals who may be interested in participating, but don't yet know about the consultation, so please let me or Kathy know if you have any suggestions for who to conduct outreach to on this issue.

And please remember to send in written comments if you cannot make it in person to a public consultation (which will be most people).

Thanks very much!

Best,
Robin

Hi All,
Two days before London, the IRT World Tour (and gTLD Consultation) stop in New York City to gather support.
The Consultation (and a time to talk at the public microphones) will be:

New York, 13 July 2009
08:30-17:00    Hudson Theatre, Millennium Hotel
145 West 44th Street | New York

As with London, Please attend!  Can you come? 
The more NCUC organizations and individuals who can come, the better. I will be leading our NCUC charge in NYC, but having only one person representing us is not enough. Trademark interests will be there in force and we truly need support from NCUC members -- and our many friends in NYC.

Please let me know if you think you can make it.
Please let me know if there are other individuals and organizations in/near NYC you think might be interested.
Please let me know if you would like any links or comments re: noncommercial concerns about the IRT report-- materials to help prepare a short presentation for NYC (we've got lots).

Best,
Kathy
