Vittorio, The Board Meeting minutes also stated the following: "Paul Twomey provided information that ICANN will be undertaking a public consultation on representations that it has received from the ITU on .INT and accompanying policies. The US Department of Commerce has written to ICANN asking for advice from on the steps being taken to advance the issue and ICANN will be replying separately". The obvious questions are, (1) On 15 December 2005, ITU-T Study Group 2 (SG2) approved Recommendation E.910, Procedures for registering within the domain ".int" and forwarded the recommendation to ICANN. That correspondence was never published by ICANN. Can we expect the correspondence to be published or does ICANN intend to continue snubbing the ITU? (2) When is the public consultation scheduled to commence? (3) What is meant by the phrase "ICANN will be replying separately"? Does this mean that ICANN's dialogue with the DOC will remain a secret? (4) Who will be parties to the consulation? Will it involve formal arrangements with WIPO member states or IGOs? Can you fill in the gaps as to what Board-level conversations transpired? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Got a little couch potato?
