===Advisors===
Given that .mobi is a [[STLD|sponsored top level domain]], it is tied to two advisory boards that are charged with representing the sponsoring community to mTLD and Afilias, they are the '''dotMobi Policy Advisory Board (PAB)''' and the ''.mobi Advisory Group (MAG)'''. These bodies include representation of the 14 original founders of dotMobi (Mobi JV).<ref>[http://www.afilias.info/mobi Mobi, Afilias.info]</ref>
