[Icann-see] Răsp.: (Deadline extended: 31 July) Future of SEEDIG: call for comments

[Snezana Jondza]

Dear all,

I support the idea of having the SEEDIG 2016 and the other in the future,
in the SEE region as a stand-alone event. I think it will enable more
participation from the region, not only from the private sector and the
government but also from other stakeholders. Placing the SEEDIG in the
region, it will make ease for more people,who can contribute to this
topic, to participate, especially for those who have issues with the travel
expenses.

Best wishes for all,

Snezana Jondza
