Re: Re: [council] comments - your proposed draft terms of reference


Hello Caroline,

Axel is on the DNSO Review Committee as NC member and the pre-
working group I have been communicating with mostly comprised of
individual members who have shown their interests in this group.

I recently got a message from a representative of Talal Abu-Ghazaleh
International (TAGI), Charles Shaban, in the BC. He introduced himself
that he attends with the IPC too during the last ICANN meeting in LA
(representing the Abu-Ghazaleh Intellectual Property - AGIP a subsidiary
of TAGI). cshaban@tagi.com www.tagi.com . And he is on the list.

He sounds like someone from IPC, doesn't he?

As soon as it is finalized, the whole invitation will be sent to all the
relavant
mailing lists including IPC by DNSO secretariat without doubt.

Thanks,
YJ
