Unfortunately I will also not be able to attend this call since I have another tele-conference call at the same time that I have a previous commitment to attend. Please accept my apologies. Thanks, Robin Mawaki Chango wrote:
Please also accept my apologies for not being able to make it to the call later on. I haven't been feeling well since Thanksgiving. Though I've been trying to convince myself I'll get better with self-prescribed medication, I finally figure out I have to see a physician today, especially if I am to take that flight to sao Paulo. Sorry,
Mawaki

I too will be unable to participate due to a competing CIRA meeting, although with less impact to the agenda than Bruce I expect ;-)

Hello All,
I will be unable to attend the teleconference on new gTLDs on the
27 Nov
2006. I had a last minute change in travel arrangements for
some
business meetings.
I have asked Liz to chair the teleconference in my absence for
the
purposes of obtaining further clarification of the positions of
each of
the constituencies with respect to the current draft
recommendations,
and obtain more input on the reasons supporting each draft recommendation. The purpose of this meeting will not be to
change the
substance of the current draft recommendations.
In Sao Paulo I will chair a session with the ICANN staff on
Sunday 3
December to review implementation issues associated with each of
the
current draft recommendations. There will also be further
opportunity
during the week for further public input during the ICANN public
forum,
and additional input from constituencies obtained during the GNSO constituency meetings.
Taking into account:
- staff input on implementation and costs
- further public input
- further constituency input
We should then refine the draft recommendations - probably via a teleconference soon after the meeting in Sao Paulo.
Regards, Bruce Tonkin
