Re: xTLD BoF and mailing list

Dear Takahashi-san,

It is important and useful have a BOF on this subject,
as well as getting a diversity of participants at the
APRICOT meeting - especially Ira Magaziner.  It is
unfortunate that so many of the current forums 
and parties dealing with this subject are remote from
the AP region.  Let me assure you that the Green Paper
process has now been accepted by virtually all parties
as the means for moving forward and achieving sustainable,
lawful administrative arrangements for the Internet.

It will be critically important for AP communities to get 
involved in the Green Paper process, as well as the
various activities and bodies that flow out of it.

At the Internet Executive Summit held this week in the
Washington DC area, the subject of participating parties
was treated.  An overview on the subject can be found at:
