<p class=MsoNormal>We need a member of the constituency to step forward and
volunteer to participate in the Domain Tasting PDP that was started by the gNSO
Council at its Los Angeles meeting. The volunteer would need to draft a
constituency statement on Domain Tasting for review by the constituency as a
whole. I attach the invitation and background below (from ICANN staff assigned
to the policy development process):<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>A PDP on domain tasting was launched through the adoption of
the below resolutions at the 31 October GNSO Council meeting. I draw your

and to submit a constituency statement on the subject matter within 35 days,
i.e. no later than 5 December 2007. The PDP will be conducted with "a
committee of the whole" and observers are invited and welcome. A mailing
list for the PDP will be established in the near future. <o:p></o:p></p>
