<DIV>Dear All,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>To facilitate your preparation for the GNSO related meetings in Durban,
please find attached a GNSO Background briefing that provides a short overview
of the status of the different GNSO projects. This will hopefully also assist in
focusing the conversation on the substance of the issues during the weekend
sessions as set out as an objective by the GNSO during the wrap up session in
Beijing. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We hope you find this helpful (and if not, we look forward to receiving
your suggestions / ideas on how to facilitate your preparation for the ICANN
meeting going forward).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>With best regards,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Marika</DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
