Public Forum II
Last chance to make your views publicly known to the Board of ICANN during this meeting: tomorrow, Thursday, from 9am to 1pm.
The agenda includes a report from the Governmental Advisory Committee and the Security and Stability Advisory Committee, plus an update on strategic planning. No reports from Board committees will be read. We promise.
Then the Board will have an official meeting Friday morning.
If you're interested in being on the Board, there's a Nominating Committee Workshop from 2-3pm tomorrow. The Nominating Committee is very interested in finding new candidates — information is here. Many warm congratulations to Rita Rodin on her election to the Board by the GNSO.
Someday next week, after a sad trip to New Zealand to represent ICANN at Peter Dengate-Thrush's wife's funeral, I'll get back to blogging. I heard tonight that there was a tie vote in the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee — an amazing victory — an 11-11 vote on net neutrality and Snowe-Dorgan.
2007 sounds like a good time to get legislative confirmation of a neutral internet in the United States. I'm looking forward to catching up on the news.
