The Board and GAC continue to work separately, continuing its review of the exchange of information as well as consider the recent community inputs and transcripts from the recent the public session. The GAC came to the session today with a lot of ideas and the Board is taking time to process them all. This schedule change should not be seen as an indication of disagreement, but rather reflecting the volume of work that is being completed and processed in a short period of time. The Board will be available to receive additional comments from the community tomorrow. It is intended to be a session to receive additional comments on the pending issues. Comments that were made during the previous session have already been noted and do not need to be restated. Written statements should be provided for posting and will not need to be read into the record, but will be considered by the Board. The sessions are currently scheduled as follows: New gTLD Program: Discussion of Issues Identified by Governmental Advisory Committee, Wed 16 Mar 2011 at 09:00AM, Grand Ballroom. The session will be held but may be shortened depending upon comments to allow more time to work on preparation for the Board / GAC discussions. The Board/GAC consultation will be open to the public again at Thur 17 March 2011 @ 0900. Hope this is helpful. Regards, Kurt Pritz ICANN
