[atlarge-discuss] WIPO recommendations on IGOs and Country Names

[DannyYounger@cs.com]

I hate to break into the reverie of election preparations with something as 
mundane as a domain name issue, but the Names Council will be meeting in 
session on the 17th during which time they will take up the recent WIPO 
recommendations which have already been endorsed by the GAC -- the WIPO 
letter is posted at 
http://www.icann.org/correspondence/gurry-letter-to-cerf-lynn-21feb03.htm

I have posted comments on the recommendation regarding International 
Inter-governmental Organizations at the following URL:

You may wish to contact your constituency representatives (if you are a 
constituency member) or perhaps the Board-appointed members of the ALAC with 
your own thoughts on this topic.  The ICANN Board has requested final input 
by May 12:

Resolved [03.22] that Board hereby requests the President to
    inform the Governmental Advisory Committee, the Supporting
    Organizations, and the other Advisory Committees of the 21
    February 2003 letter from WIPO; to provide those bodies with
    a copy of the text of the letter; and to invite them to
    provide, no later than 12 May 2003, any comments they may
    formulate, according to their processes, concerning the
    matters discussed in the WIPO letter.
