[council] Draft GNSO Council Agenda for Thursday 18 May 2006

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

Hello All,

Below is a draft agenda for the Council meeting on 18 May 2006.

I have held off inviting ICANN Board candidates for Board seat #14 to
speak to the Council, until we have some more certainty on the timing of
the re-consideration request, and the business constituency have had
time to consider appointing Council members for the purpose of the
election.   The next steps will be discussed and agreed upon as part of
item 9 of the agenda.   Although the agenda appears long - most of the
items are status reports.

Regards
Bruce
