   Hello All:

   As previously stated the Executive Committee believes that it would be
   highly benefical to have another registrar meeting like the one we had
   in Dulles this past February. The attendance was excellent and I think
   a lot of constructive process was made.  Issues that would be the
   topic of discussion for this tentative meeting scheduled for
   approximately the third weekend in September would be:

   - Transfers (see letter to ICANN Board)
   - Whois data mining (see letter to ICANN Board)
   - .org, with the decision to be made by ICANN we could have the
   winning bidder brief us on the .org transition
   - Code of Conduct
   - Restructuring - particularly discussion about the .25 fee that was
   referenced in the Blueprint document & our efforts to incorporate a
   contract dispute mechanism

   The first issue is who would be interested in attending this meeting.
   Second where should we have the meeting.

   Although the last meeting was in the US, there was talk about holding
   another meeting in the US as well. The logic for this proposal was as
   follows:

   The last meeting was the most well attended meeting ever;
   Approx half (76 out of 156) of the ICANN accredited registrars are
   from the US;
   There are no scheduled ICANN meetings in the US for 2002 and 2003.

   Any feedback would be greatly appreciated as we will need to start
   making plans shortly.

   Best regards,

   Mike
