RE: [council] Draft Agenda for Council meeting Wednesday 21 Dec 2005

["Bruce Tonkin" <Bruce.Tonkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 Hello All,

I am only available for 1 hour for the meeting next week.

I think it is worthwhile having a short meeting before the end of the
year to make sure we start work on new TLDs.

Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
