The all-day meeting will be held at the Singapore International Convention
and Exhibition Centre (http://www.sicec.com). It will begin at 9:00 am
with an APRICOT plenary session and keynote. The ICANN-specific agenda
will begin at 9:45 am. Meeting attendees are also invited to attend an
opening reception at 6:30 pm on Tuesday, March 2, at the Convention Centre.

The meeting agenda includes discussion of several proposals which have been
posted for public comment at http://www.icann.org/drafts.html: domain Name
Supporting Organization application proposals, draft registrar
accreditation guidelines, a draft conflict of interest policy, and a draft
reconsideration policy. The ICANN Board will be considering adoption of
these proposals at its March 4 meeting. If you would like to submit
comments about the draft proposals for the Board's consideration, please do
so before midnight, US West Coast time, on February 26, following the
