Hello Jeff, Thanks for alerting us to the date of the 2003 Annual meeting. Note also that under the transition article of the bylaws: Article XX, section 5, clause 8: "In the absence of further action on the topic by the New Board, each of the GNSO constituencies shall select two representatives to the GNSO Council no later than 1 October 2003, and shall provide the ICANN Secretary written notice of its selections. Each constituency shall designate one of those representatives to serve a one-year term, and one to serve a two year-term. Each successor to those representatives shall serve a two-year term." The 1 October 2003 date looks unachievable. I recommend each constituency commence arrangements to elect the two GNSO representatives as above, with the aim of completing the process by the end of the Annual Meeting in Tunisia. I also recommend that each constituency select an additional representative as a reserve, should the Board approve the recommendation from the GNSO Council to allow 3 representatives until such time as the performance of the GNSO Council can be reviewed.

All, I noticed that the ICANN Board is now proposing to make the Tunisia meeting the "Annual Meeting" of the Board of Directors (http://www.icann.org/minutes/prelim-report-12sep03.htm). That being the case, assuming that the Board does not reverse its decision on having 2 representatives, I guess the assumption is that each constituency will be required to hold new elections for the 2 representatives and have those reps in place by the end of the Tunisia meeting? In the way of guidance from the other constituencies, I was wondering if you all are holding elections in the next few weeks for new Council members. In addition, technically, even if 3 reps are allowed I believe the bylaws call for all new elections. Please advise. Thanks. Jeffrey J. Neuman, Esq. Director, Law & Policy NeuStar, Inc.
