Under Agenda Item 3 (Whois Studies) on 1 April, Council members were encouraged to discuss and evaluate the Whois studies with their respective Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies and be prepared to provide budget direction to submit a request for funds for Fiscal Year 11 at the next Council meeting on 21 April 2010. In that meeting our goal will be to discuss specific budget recommendations for Whois Study funding. If you have not already done so, please discuss this with your respective groups. I strongly encourage submittal of proposals for funding in advance so if any of your group members have ideas, please submit them to the Council list, preferably at least eight days in advance of 21 April so that the rest of us can share the proposals with our groups before the meeting. Thanks, Chuck
