[council] Draft Agenda for Council meeting - Thursday 15 March 2007

[Bruce Tonkin]

Hello All,

See below for a draft agenda.

Note that USA moves onto Daylight savings time on 11 March, but most
other places don't change until later in March - so the time of the
meeting for March will still be 19:00 UTC.

At the end of the meeting, I have allocated time under agenda item 11 to
deal with any issues arising from the election process.  As I am a
candidate in the election,  I will not chair this discussion.  I will
make myself available for phone interview by Council members and the
leadership of constituencies.  This could be scheduled for the second
hour of the call.  If there are any other candidates - they will also be
invited, and if they are unable to make the call - a separate interview
time will be scheduled by ICANN staff.

Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
