>  Carlton Samuels:@Evan I agree.
>  Carlton Samuels:@Alzn  I agree, we need not tell ICANN how to mind
>cows.  Some things we need not detail for ICANN
>  Carlton Samuels:@Andrew: All we need to say is a 501(c) is required,
>not the details of it...
>  Gisella Gruber-White:CIntra has joined the call
>  Alan Greenberg:Regarding 501(c), if ICANN starts a foundation (and I
>beleive that is ultimately required), new gTLD applicant support will
>just be one of its long-term aspects. We wouldbe one of the users and
>perhaps a driver to doing it sooner than later. The main driving reason
>is to be able to structure auctions so that the proceeds do not make
>impact ICANN's tax-free status and can be used for good things.
>  Carlton Samuels:Regarding the public session during the Singapore
>Meeting, please note we have book the following on the schedule trying to
>avoid other new gTLD sessions, constituency meetings and other obvious
