Dear all: Since ALAC, African and European ALSes are all meeting in Lisbon, I'm wondering if we can do some substantive work with respect to the domain name tasting issue. Of course, if one region wants to do more with this than another, that's fine - but it occurs to me we will have lots of experts and staff people around in Lisbon; lets make the most of them. I'd like to ask, in particular, the ICANN Staff Registry Liaison to come and talk, at least with the ALAC but if it is in an open meeting perhaps also with other groups - or separately also with regions - and that conversation could be about registry issues in general with a focus on tasting. Without objection, I'll put a placeholder into the draft agenda of each group for a discussion on registry issues. We can always then remove it of course. -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart Director, At-Large ICANN PO Box 32160 London N4 2XY United Kingdom Main Tel: +44 (20) 8800-1011] USA Tel: +1 (202) 657-5460 Fax: +44 (20) 7681-3135 mobile: +44 (7774) 932798 email: nick.ashton-hart@icann.org Win IM: ashtonhart@hotmail.com / AIM/iSight: nashtonhart@mac.com / Skype: nashtonhart Online Bio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashtonhart
