Subject: Re: [NR] Regional Names
Could someone please open the website and copy and paste the current suggested
names to me in a private email?
I do not have a Google account and don't really want to be forced to register
one in order to be a part of this process. The site does not show me any
content other than a login screen.
Respectfully,
