Posted by me early this morning to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Meanwhile I tried to call John Englund at about 9:45 AM EST this morning.
There was no answer.....not even voice mail for me to leave a message.

Subject: Final DNSO meeting letter
>All,
>
>Happy New Year!
>
>See below the revised DNSO meeting invitation that incorporates several
>changes suggested by some of you.
>
>I will assume -- unless I hear otherwise by COB today -- that this is
>the final letter that will go out.

>Best,

>Letter of Invitation to DNSO Meeting
>
>As you know, the U.S. Government is transferring authority for the
>Internet's centralized functions - including the allocation of domain
>names, the addressing and protocol systems - to a new non-profit entity
>called the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
>("ICANN"). The Domain Name Supporting Organization ("DNSO") is one of
>the three supporting organizations called for by the ICANN by-laws.
>
>We would like to invite you to participate in a meeting on Friday,
>January 22nd in Washington, D.C. to discuss the formation of the DNSO.
>The list of current sponsors of the meeting are listed below.
>
>The goal is to arrive at a broad-based consensus on the draft bylaws for
>the DNSO, a process which is already actively underway in various fora,
>including recent meetings held in Barcelona and Monterrey. A great deal
>of work in developing these bylaws has already taken place, and various
>proposals will be put on the table for discussion at the meeting.
>People representing organizations with a direct stake in the DNSO will
>be actively participating in the meeting, a summary of the meeting will
>be made public, and some observers will be invited to attend. Our goal
>is to forge a broader consensus on how to organize the DNSO so that a
>large group of stakeholders can support an application to the ICANN
>Board to be recognized as the new DNSO.
>
>We need to move expeditiously. The ICANN Board expects to be evaluating
>applications for the new DNSO by March. Our January meeting will build
>upon proposals already developed, including the proposal developed from
>the meetings held in Monterrey and Barcelona, and a proposal developed
>by the International Trademark Association ("INTA").
>
>Although there are a wide range of topics relating to the DNSO, our hope
>is that we can limit the discussion to those matters which have
>generated the most controversy in recent months. The meeting will
>therefore attempt to answer the following:
>
>What form of membership structure is appropriate?
>What should be the composition of the Names Council and how should Names
>Council members be elected?
>What are the powers of the DNSO?
>How should the DNSO and ICANN operations be funded?
>How should the DNSO by-laws be joined to the ICANN recognition proposal?
>
>We anticipate that a non-partisan facilitator will be brought in to help
>the group reach as much consensus as possible.
>
>Following the meeting, draft consensus by-laws will be developed based
>on input provided at the meeting. Any dissenting views will also be
>included. These draft bylaws will then be circulated extensively to the
>broad Internet community for review.
>
>We look forward to your participation and involvement in this important
>and challenging effort.
>
>List of Sponsoring Organizations:
>
>Commercial Internet Exchange (CIX)
>Council of European National Top level domain Registries (CENTR)
>European ISP Association (EUROISPA)
>International Chamber of Commerce (ICC)
>International Trademark Association (INTA)
>Internet Council of Registrars (CORE)
>Network Solutions, Inc. (NSI)
>Policy Oversight Committee (POC)
>World Information Technology and Services Alliance (WITSA)
>
>
>Note: The organizations convening the meeting listed above may also
>represent other organizations and interests. Attached is further
>background on the various groups represented by the convening
>organizations.
