>A Message from Jon Postel
>
>I am sorry I cannot be at this meeting with you today. I wish you
well
>in the activities you will undertake here. It appears that this will
be
>the last in a group of meetings to discuss the formation of a new
>organization for managing Internet names and addresses as suggested
by
>the white paper.
>
>These meetings are important opportunities to discuss issues and
share
>ideas about how this new organization can meet its responsibilities
and
>be responsive to the community. It is important that the good ideas
>developed at these meetings be shared with others via the Internet,
in
>email reports and web pages, so that we all can build on these
>results.
>
>As you may know, I have prepared a draft set of bylaws to help focus
>the discussion about the structure of this new organization.  It is
my
>intent to incorporate the developing consensus from these meetings in

>these draft bylaws. The bylaws available today are the second
>iteration, and were designed to incorporate the consensus from the
>Reston and Geveva meetings. I hope these prove useful in your meeting

>today.  The last version of the bylaws will incorporate consensus
items
>from the Singapore and Buenos Aires meetings.
>
>It is important to move forward quickly on the formation of the
overall
>organization since it is expected that the current IANA activities
will
>be performed by the new organization after September 30th, this year
-
>only about five weeks from today. I am ready to participate, with
you,
>in the design of the new organization.
>
>It is critical to have the overall structure and framework for the
new
>organization established in the next few weeks.  Because of the time
>constraints, it may not be possible to reach consensus on all the
>issues about the operation of the new organization.  There will be
some
>matters that of necessity will be left for the initial board of the
new
>organization to resolve.  I expect the initial board of the new
>organization will welcome your input on these matters.
>
>Thank you for the opportunity to present this message, and best
wishes
>for a successful meeting. I look forward to hearing and reading about

>the good ideas you develop at this meeting.
