Planning for Bucharest Meeting

Dr. Lynn noted that a revised agenda for the ICANN meeting in Bucharest, scheduled for Bucharest from 24-28 June 2002, had been posted. He noted that the Public Forum schedule was very heavily scheduled, with a presentation on Whois issues, presentations by the .org bidders, discussion of ICANN evolution and reform, consideration of the budget, and several other, smaller items to be considered. The Board discussed arrangements for expanding the available Public Forum time.

U.S. Senate Hearings
