RE: [council] Regarding meeting in Washington, DC - Friday 24 Feb and Saturday 25 Feb

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

Hello Marilyn,

(1) So far the meeting in Washington is for the Committee working on the
PDP for new gtlds (PDP-Dec05).

(2) In our next meeting on 16 Feb 2006, we need to agree on whether to
form a task force, and agree on the terms of reference for the PDP on
contractual conditions of existing gTLDs (PDP-Feb06)

(3) Following the meeting on 16 Feb 2006, a notice of initiating the PDP
will be placed on the ICANN website, and there will be a 20 day public
comment period (see section 6, Annex A of the bylaws).   Constituencies
will have 35 days to prepare their statements.

(4) With respect to your request to have a meeting on PDP-Feb06 in
Washington, I will add this for discussion and decision under any other
business for the Council meeting on 16 Feb 2006.

Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
