CENTR has officially confirmed their participation. APTLD unofficially, and
LACTLD is considering who is attending, s Oscar Robles would be in Seattle for
an ARIN meeting (these are at least the answers we got).
Other enitites that have confimed their attendace: AMRQUES (The European
Association of TM owners); EuroInternet.
Many organizations have expressed their willingness, and commitment, to
attend, but have made no offical resposne as this is still though their
internal pipeline: EuroISPA, ETNO. I am also pretty sure that INTA, ICC and
some US-based trade associations will also be there,as they have shown
positive inclination to do so.
Oh, and NSI has indeed been directly invited. But given that this was done in
the very moment their were in the last-minute negotiations for both the nIANA
bylaws and the transition agreement, they were really too busy to consider it
and have asked for some extra time to properly address it.
