-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm pleased to report that the Board approved an At-Large Summit, recommending that At-Large consider Mexico City, to make it cost-effective (and coincide with ICANN's 10th anniversary celebrations). Thanks to the working group for advancing the effort! As Alan reported, the Board also charged the GNSO constituencies and liaising bodies with forming a quick working group to try to reach consensus on GNSO improvements. I hope Alan will be able to represent At-Large interests in having some end-user representation in the restructured Council. I expect minutes will be posted here <http://www.icann.org/minutes/>, while the scribes' notes can be found here: <http://www.icann.org/minutes/> - --Wendy Wendy Seltzer wrote:
The ICANN Board is meeting now, <http://par.icann.org/en/node/64>, with a live feed from the scribes available at <http://ses1.penn.icannmeeting.org/iframe.html>
We've just heard a resolution adopting the GNSO's policy recommendations on new gTLDs, <http://gnso.icann.org/issues/new-gtlds/pdp-dec05-fr-parta-08aug07.htm>, in connection with which I raised ALAC's concerns about the "morality and public order" and "community support" objections. There is still a great deal of implementation work to be done, and ALAC's continued input can help to keep those objection criteria narrow.
The At-Large Summit will be discussed at the end of the meeting, in "Other Business." I've gotten some detail from the Summit Working Group to add to that discussion.
Thanks! --Wendy
