9 April 2008

ICANN today posted the schedule http://par.icann.org/schedule for its 
public Meeting to be held in Paris 22-26 June.
"With two and a half months to go, there are some important changes to 
the schedule that attendees need to know." said Paul Levins, Executive 
Officer and Vice President, Corporate Affairs. First, the meeting will 
end on Thursday the 26 of June. Historically the Board meeting has been 
held on the Friday morning of these meetings. That has involved an 
additional day's time and expense by participants. In response to 
feedback and in the interests of economy, this meeting will see the 
Board meeting take place on Thursday evening with the meeting ending 
that night". Mr Levins said.
"Furthermore, ICANN is keen to encourage participation by all 
stakeholders and at this meeting we will be holding a series of sessions 
identified on the agenda as Business Access Agenda targeted at the 
business community" said Paul Levins.
"Finally we will be holding sessions dealing with the work of the 
President's strategy group, new gTLDS and the future, workshops on IDN 
fastrack, IPV6, protection of registrants, GNSO improvements 
implementation, Review of the At-Large Advisory Committee and translation."
"We look forward to welcoming all attendees at Paris for what should be 
a fruitful and engaging meeting" Levins said.
