As we do for all of the Board meetings and Executive Committee meetings,
we will be posting the minutes on the ICANN web site. I am the staff
member responsible for this task, and it takes me a while to get the
minutes drafted and approved by the Directors. If you have any more
questions about this or related matters, please feel free to contact me
directly.

Subject: January 17th ICANN Teleconference
Esther Dyson, George Conrades, Mike Roberts, and the ICANN Board-
The announcement on the ICANN website (reproduced below) indicates that
this
teleconference was of such
importance to the Internet that, since it was apparently not public or
recorded, the ICANN Interim Board is morally obligated to announce
publicly
its results and conclusions.
The ICIIU calls on you, the ICANN Interim Board members, to supply a
brief
statement on the decisions you made on each of the conference's topics
as
listed below, so that the Internet community may know what you are
doing,
and what you are planning to do, to affect its future.
