The officers have a phone conference this week and I will post an agenda after that.

Since no agenda has yet been posted, and since it appears that the BC officers have unilaterally decided to delay the needed changes to the Charter that many members have requested: http://forum.icann.org/lists/bc-gnso/msg00054.html "Given the events described above the BC officers have decided to wait for further information before proceeding with changes to our BC charter." I propose the following to be on the agenda for discussion: 1) That the BC charter be immediately amended to have elected positions of Treasurer and Secretary, as previously discussed. 2) That past, current and future BC budgets (and indeed those of all constituencies) be made public, in keeping with ICANN's goals of maximum transparency. 3) That current and future BC budgets (put forward by an elected Treasurer) require majority approval of all members (via weighted voting). 4) That the Category 3 member level in the BC be defined as all companies with fewer than 500 employees (in keeping with other published definitions of small businesses, without references to revenues). Of course, discussion can also take place on the mailing list, before and after the call. Sincerely, George Kirikos 416-588-0269 http://www.leap.com/
