There will be discussions with the GAC in SF (probably 2 days worth). The ICANN Board has taken the position that these meetings will suffice under the ICANN Bylaws as the required consultation for a number of reasons that Peter, Rita and others went into (and that you can read in the transcripts). <br><br>Some of the governments have taken a position that (a) they never agreed that a meeting in SF would in fact constitute the “consultation” required under the bylaws (and were surprised by ICANN’s resolution in January that declared that March 17<sup>th</sup><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>would be the date, and (b) there may not enough time between the Brussels meeting and the SF meeting for each of the governments to go back home to their “capitals” to get the appropriate feedback necessary to enable the governments to consider the SF meeting as the official consultation. The governments also want a written response to their scorecard from the ICANN that puts down in writing what the ICANN Board preliminarily determined in Brussels. That should come out in the next couple of days (I have heard).<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); "><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">So, in sum, there was no resolution on that issue, but it is clear that there will be discussions that are taking place.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); "><o:p> </o:p></span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><b><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">Jeffrey J.
