African meeting here in Los Angeles which I believe we can hold this
afternoon. I am happy to meet with those of you who are here. The interest was
to discuss African participation to senior positions in ICANN.<BR><BR>If those
of you who are here can find the time soon after this board meeting send an
email confirming attendance. I will find you outside the meeting room where we
are now, together we can find a place for the meeting or perhaps Anne Rachel,
is it possible to get a meeting room for this meeting unless you have already
arranged for this as we spoke... <BR><BR>Let me

We do have information and a roadmap that we can share. Nii

on a consolidated plan and see if we can bridge the gap amongst the

Opens Historic 30th International Public Meeting in L.A.<BR><BR>Meeting marks
end of Vint Cerf's term, offers updates on major changes to Internet
<BR><BR>29 October 2007<BR><BR><B>LOS ANGELES</B>: The Internet Corporation
for Assigned Names and Numbers has opened its 30th International Public
Meeting in Los Angeles. <BR><BR>"It's fitting to host such an historic meeting
in California. ICANN will be looking at issues impacting the future of the
Internet in the place where, in many ways, the Internet was born and grew up,"
said Dr Paul Twomey, ICANN's President and CEO. <BR><BR>"The ICANN model is
working and these meetings are pivotal. As a bottom up, consensus-driven
organization, help us get the community together to discuss the direction we
need to head, and how we will get there." <BR><BR>Attendees and on-line
participants can be part of more than 30 sessions and workshops, and will help
ICANN continue improving the global coordination of the Internet's unique
identifiers. <BR><BR>Some of the highlights of the Los Angeles meeting
include: <BR></SPAN></FONT>

<BR></SPAN></FONT></LI></UL><FONT face="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12px">"I can't over emphasize the importance of IDNs and new
gTLDs — when ICANN reaches the implementation point on these projects we will
see an incredible change in the way people interact with the Internet and each
other," Dr Twomey added. "ICANN stands for a single, globally interoperable
Internet — and the work on IDNs and new gTLDs is part of enhancing that."
<BR><BR>Dr Twomey also welcomed the announcement from the U.S. Department of
Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration that the
NTIA will consult with interested stakeholders regarding the mid-term review
of the Joint Project Agreement (JPA) between the Department and ICANN.
<BR><BR>"ICANN and the Department agreed to a mid term review in 2006,"
Assistant Secretary for Communications and Information John Kneuer said at the
ICANN meeting this morning. <BR><BR>"It is important that all interested
stakeholders have an opportunity to directly share their views on ICANN during
the JPA mid-term review," Kneuer added. "We feel strongly that our review must
be informed by your experiences with ICANN and perspectives regarding its
evolution." <BR><BR>The NTIA release is available at <A
href="http://www.ntia.doc.gov/ntiahome/press/2007/PR_ICANNJPA_10292007.html">http://www.ntia.doc.gov/ntiahome/press/2007/PR_ICANNJPA_10292007.html</A>

. <BR><BR>"We welcome this public consultation. ICANN stands for one, global
interoperable Internet. If you believe in that, this is your opportunity to
tell the NTIA that the ICANN model is our best one to ensure co-ordination not
control," Dr Twomey added. <BR><BR>"It's also an historic meeting because it
is Vint Cerf's last official function as board chair," Dr Twomey added. "His
contributions to ICANN, and the Internet, have been immeasurable. We are going
to celebrate his achievements at a special tribute during the meeting."
