Hello Adrian,
Can you elaborate on what Item 5b. actually means?
Will the Board be voting on the acceptance of the EOI process so that it can be started?
From: http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-4-15feb10-en.htm "The Board plans to decide whether to conduct an Expressions of Interest (EOI) exercise for new gTLDs at the ICANN Meeting in Nairobi. The Board and the community will have the opportunity to discuss the Expressions of Interest and Pre-Registrations model, which takes into account the community feedback during the two recent public comment periods. Besides the background information and description of the current proposed model, the Explanatory Memo also presents some discussion points about costs and other implementation aspects. Here is the current Explanatory Memo - Discussion of the Expressions of Interest (EOI)/Pre-Registration Process Model : http://www.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/discussion-eoi-pre-registration -process-model-15feb10-en.pdf " The panel session on EOI will take place on Monday 8 March at 11am - Nairobi time.
