> Dear Council Members:
> 
> Today the ICANN Board held a special telephone Board, both 
> Alex and myself were present during the Call.
> 
> The first action item was the approval for staff to move 
> forward with contractual negotiations with ICM Registry, see 
> http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-01jun05.htm.
> 
> The second action item was the .net RFP. No binding action 
> was taken today, however, there was a substantial discussion 
> regarding this matter. Because of my consulting arrangement 
> with Afilias I was unable to participate in this discussion. 
> However, Alex as the other duly elected representative of the 
> GNSO did an excellent job articulating the concerns of the 
> Council. The Chair of the Board also had circulated an email 
> by Philip Sheppard to the full Board mailing list prior to the call.
> 
> Unfortunately time expired prior to being able to address the 
> strategic plan. Another Board teleconference call is 
> tentatively scheduled for June 8.
> As soon as an agenda is available either Alex or I will 
> ensure that the Council is properly informed.
> 
> I hope this update proves useful. Pending any last minute 
> conflicts, I look forward to tomorrow's council call, 
> although as usual I will participate as a mere observer.
