Dear Council Members: I have been asked by your chair to provide the council with a list of tentative board dates for the remainder of the year. Although these are tentative, the Board has in the past added, deleted, and/or shifted dates depending on certain circumstances. As per the bylaws, the secretary will generally post the agenda for each Board meeting seven days in advance of such meeting. 21 February 28 February 31 March - Wellington Meeting 18 April 10 May (tentative) 14 June 29 June - Morocco Meeting 18 July 15 August 13 September 18 October 14 November early December - Brazil Meeting I hope this is of some assistance. Best regards, Michael D. Palage
Dear Mike Thanks so much for this. As an aside, most of the Council knows that I am very actively engaged in participating with, and representing industry at the upcoming consultation on the IGF [Internet Governance Forum]. I believe that Avri, Ken, and Tony will be in Geneva as well -- perhaps others? Of course, we are not attending as councilors, but as part of the "day job" stuff we all do. I am concerned that the ICANN web site still shows the annual meeting for ICANN in October. I'm having significant problems in the discussions with the IGF "followers" including governments who are relying on the ICANN web site for the factual information about when the meeting is. We are debating when the IGF can be held, and I've been caught now several times in a situation where the governments I'm trying to work with to ensure an IGF that isn't about ICANN, but about the other issues w/out a home, so to speak, are telling me that they rely on the ICANN posted dates. My latest little episode was the last three days I spent at the ITU meetings where I was constantly correcting misunderstandings about when the ICANN meeting is. Important to have the dates corrected as soon as possible. In the meantime, getting this verification of when the Board will meet was exceptionally helpful.

Marilyn, In connection with the scheduling of the 4th quarter regional meeting, the local host ran into scheduling problems. After the Meeting Committee approved a list of three venues that were suitable for ICANN's needs, the local host then went back and tried to find an available block of time. There were difficulties in scheduling this meeting as the exact location of the IETF meeting had not been set. After navigating limited time blocks during a busy holiday season the local host was able to return with a proposed date of Dec 3-8th. The Meeting Committee has recently approved this date (Dec 3-8) and venue (San Paulo, Brazil). However, any final decision needs to be made by the full board. That is currently scheduled to be an action item during our next teleconference scheduled for 21-Feb-2006. As my original email to the council list stated, these were tentative times. Although I appreciate the need for advance notice, ICANN is in large part dependent upon the local host who bear a major financial burden in connection with these meetings. Thus ICANN needs to be accommodating to the hard effort that the local hosts undertake in scheduling these meetings. I am sure Tony remembers all to well the Mar del Plata meeting :-) Let me know if there is anyway I could be of additional assistance. Based upon the recommendation of the Meeting Committee, I discussed with Kurt this evening updating the ICANN web site in advance of the full vote. Although this may be premature, given the little options available for an alternate site, and the need for other events to schedule around ICANN I thought that was the most prudent move. I hope this helps. Best regards, Michael D. Palage -----Original Message----- From: Marilyn Cade [mailto:marilynscade@hotmail.com] Sent: Friday, February 10, 2006 6:04 PM To: 'Michael D.

Dear Council Members: As a follow-up to my previous post, I just wanted to advise the council that the Secretariat has updated the ICANN website to include all of these dates, including the proposed agenda for the 21-Feb-2006 meeting within seven days of that meeting as required by the bylaws. * Review of Public Comments Regarding VeriSign Settlement Agreements * Litigation Status Update * Discussion of VeriSign Settlement Agreements * Designation of São Paulo as 2006 Annual Meeting * Consideration of ccNSO's ccPDP Results and Recommendations on Proposed ICANN Bylaws Changes * Approval of Contractor to Conduct GNSO Review * Designation of Academic Organization to Select Delegate for ICANN's 2006 Nominating Committee * Approval of Director's Expenses * Other Business Should anyone have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I have heard from at least one registrar regarding the briefing that staff provided yesterday. I would hope that these briefing assist the respective constituencies in helping formulate comments which they can submit via the public forum. Although I have the benefit of monitoring your calls and this list's communications, I believe it is important to use the public forum as the primary mechanism to document the community's position on the proposed Verisign settlement agreements. I also point to the proposed approval of the contract to conduct the GNSO review which should be of particular importance to the GNSO. Best regards, Michael D. Palage
Mike, do you know at what point of time the Board will consider the policy recommendation made by the council in regard to the "Final task force report on a policy recommendation and advice on a procedure for handling conflicts between a registrar/registry's legal obligations under privacy laws and their contractual obligations to ICANN" Best, tom -- Thomas Keller Domain Services Schlund + Partner AG Brauerstrasse 48 Tel. +49-721-91374-4534 76135 Karlsruhe, Germany Fax +49-721-91374-215 http://www.schlund.de tom@schlund.de Am 14.02.2006 schrieb Michael D.
