Dear All,

The GNSO will be meeting with the GAC in two open meetings in Marrakech,
Morocco, to allow more time for discussion.

One will be on Sunday 25 June 2006, and one will be on Monday 26 June
2006.

The meeting on the afternoon of Sunday 25 June 2006, will be for the
GNSO to brief the GAC on current policy development activities around
new gTLDs, contractual conditions of existing gTLDs, and 
Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs).
The meeting on Monday 26 June 2006 from 10:30am to 12:30pm has been
arranged at short notice to accommodate recent requests from some GAC
members to provide advice to the GNSO as it relates to the concerns of
governments with respect to WHOIS policy development, particularly
matters where there may be an interaction between WHOIS policies and
various laws and international agreements, or where WHOIS policies may
affect public policy issues.   The GAC members are bringing some subject
matter experts to assist in providing advice.   Members of the GNSO
Community will have the opportunity to ask questions of these experts.

More detailed agendas for these meetings will be available soon.

You are all invited to attend.

Kind regards,

Glen de Saint Géry
