Hi folks, I forgot to mention, there's also a meeting on June 4, 2009 (next Thursday) at 10:00 am in Washington, DC, of the US House Subcommittee on Communications, Technology and the Internet: http://energycommerce.house.gov/index.php?option=com_jcalpro&Itemid=54&extmode=view&extid=47 on the "Oversight of ICANN", and Paul Twomey will be there. If any BC members attend, they might want to provide summaries to the constituency. According to the minutes of the latest ICANN Board meeting: http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/prelim-report-21may09.htm "Staff reported that the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Communications, Technology, and the Internet scheduled a hearing on the Joint Project Agreement and other ICANN related issues including new gTLDs on 4 June 2009 and invited Dr. Twomey to appear as a witness." Given that our own BC conference call is currently scheduled just 1 hour after the start of the above meeting, if many BC members in the DC area (or flying in from outside DC) are planning to attend the hearing in person, perhaps it might be wise to adjust the timing of our own conference call....

I do plan to be at the hearing and consequently will be unable to join the Sydney planning call. I'll be happy to share my written report on the hearing with BC members. Philip S.
