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

[Kilnam Chon <chon@cosmos.kaist.ac.kr>]

thank you for the information.

a few more questions;

1. ICANN March Meetings in Singapore

   what meetings do you plan to have on March 2-4 so that we can schedule
   other meetings such as DNSO Meeting better?
    
   what i was told is as follows?

	march 2 	a number of ICANN committee meetings
	march 3		icann open meeting
	march 4		icann board meeting
	
   does the icann committee meetings on march 2 include membership advisory
   committee, and/or government advisory committee meeting?

2. what is the current status of formation of government advisory committee?
   APTLD is looking into having an initial meeting on "government advisory
   committee for Asia-Pacific region" during APRICOT week in Singapore, and
   would like to invite somebody from ICANN in charge of Governmnet Advisory
   Committee formation.
