FSS: Regarding the recent ALS Applicantion from Chad, I ask Aziz Hilali to speak on this application.

AH: We could not determine the relationship with this applicant and the internet in Chad. Also, when we look at the website and the information on ISOC's website, the information does not match. Additionally, they state on their application that there is a board but there is no board.

As such, we ask that ICANN Staff follow up with this applicant and inform them of our reasons for not supporting this application.
