Yes, the scheduling is atrocious. The principle DNSO meeting is
being held on the same day as the open ICANN Membership Advisory
Committee meeting. Frankly, I don't see how this can be allowed to
occur.

What's more, it seems that a high fee (US$50/day) is to be charged
for each meeting. This will mean that those of us who are involved
in both DNSO issues and ICANN matters will have to pay US$100/day at
Singapore. Is this necessary? Is it right? Is it in keeping with the
non-profit nature of these entities?
