ICANN/DNSO

June 3, 1999.

The Names Council (including designated observers from the constituencies that have not yet elected their representatives) will celebrate its first official meeting on June 11th 1999. It will be a closed meeting (teleconference) and its purpose is to create the necessary working groups to deal with the issues referred to the DNSO by the ICANN Board at the Berlin meeting and to organise the structure of the DNSO. All aproved constituencies have been asked to propose names for the working groups. The DNSO bylaws require that members of all constituencies be invited to participate in all working groups. The meeting will not deal with any policy issues.

The agenda for the teleconference is:

1) Adoption of the Agenda. Addition of any issues not added prior to the meeting.

2) Creation of a Working Group (WG) to study the recommendations in Chapter 3 of the WIPO Report.
