Re: ICANN Meeting schedule - please announce as in advance as possible

[edyson@edventure.com (Esther Dyson)]

We are trying to do this.  

The Berlin dates, which we fixed since my earlier messages, are May 25 to
27. That is all we know right now, and we would welcome offers of places to
hold the meetings!

We still don't know the dates or even the exact location for August. 

We don't know about the SO meetings, because we are not organizing them, but
I would guess that there will be some kind of DNSO meeting, and we expect to
be considering the formation of a DNSO.  We are much less certain about the
ASO and PSO.  You can check with the relevant organizations, and we will be
posting firm information (or links) as we get word.

I hope that helps.
