If any BC<br>> members attend, they might want to provide summaries to the<br>> constituency. According to the minutes of the latest ICANN Board<br>> meeting:<br>> <br>> http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/prelim-report-21may09.htm<br>> <br>> "Staff reported that the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on<br>> Communications, Technology, and the Internet scheduled a hearing on<br>> the Joint Project Agreement and other ICANN related issues including<br>> new gTLDs on 4 June 2009 and invited Dr. Twomey to appear as a<br>> witness."<br>> <br>> Given that our own BC conference call is currently scheduled just 1<br>> hour after the start of the above meeting, if many BC members in the<br>> DC area (or flying in from outside DC) are planning to attend the<br>> hearing in person, perhaps it might be wise to adjust the timing of<br>> our own conference call....<br>> <br>> Sincerely,<br>> <br>> George Kirikos<br>> 416-588-0269<br>> http://www.leap.com/<br>> <br></div></body>
