consideration by the Governmental Advisory Committee shall be available 15 
working days prior to the beginning of the Sydney meeting on 21 June 2009, and 
all other documents shall be available 10 working days prior to the beginning 
of the Sydney meeting. This will apply to motions before Council.

Approval of Recommendations from Public Participation Committee regarding 
Meetings 

Document Deadlines 
Whereas the Board requested the Public Participation Committee to develop a 
plan for ensuring that all major meeting material be available at least two 
calendar weeks in advance of meetings, starting with Sydney; 

Whereas the Public Participation Committee has found that deadlines for the 
publication of input documents before ICANN's international public meetings 
need to be phased in over multiple meetings; 

Resolved (2009-05-21-15) that documents for consideration by the Governmental 
Advisory Committee shall be available 15 working days prior to the beginning of 
the Sydney meeting on 21 June 2009, and all other documents shall be available 
10 working days prior to the beginning of the Sydney meeting. 

Resolved (2009-05-21-16) that the Public Participation Committee shall review 
the experiences gathered with this meeting, and propose an operational policy 
based on these experiences to the Board, to become effective for the Seoul 
International Meeting. 

All Board members present unanimously approved of these resolutions

Thank you.
Kind regards,

Glen
