      Conclusions

====================================================
> This is an annoucement made on the GNSO/GA
> .
> Since the European position will probably have some weight into this, 
> I would be interested in knowing which ALS representatives and which 
> European Civil Society members will be in Geneva on Sept 15. We could 
> have an unformal side meeting (since france at large has not been 
> acknowldeged by Staff as an ICANN ALS). This could be an occasion to 
> discuss relations between ALAC, ATLARGE, Civil Society Coalitions, 
> ISOC with the assistance of Staff and PSC members ?

> Four dates had been set so far*, with at least one other due to be

> community's response to the Midterm Review of the Joint Project 
> Agreement (JPA) that ICANN has with the US Department of Commerce.
>
> To date, three documents have been produced to guide the IIC

> identifiers. At least one member of the PSC and one ICANN staff 
> person will be present at each meeting and will help manage it.
