| Greetings,

| NGO and Academic ICANN Study is releasing its Interim Report on last
| year's At Large election and on the future of the public role in
| ICANN.
|
| The Executive Summary of that report is available online at
| http://www.naisproject.org/ or, for those without Web access, by
| e-mail to info at naisproject.org. The full Interim Report will be
| available online shortly. Translations of the Executive Summary in
| Spanish, French and Chinese will be available later this week.
|
| The Interim Report is preliminary in nature. NAIS will publish its
| Final Report, with recommendations, in September. We welcome
| comments, and look forward to continued discussion on this topic.
|
| 2. NAIS also invites members of the ICANN community to a lunchtime
| briefing on the report this Saturday, June 2, at the Stockholm
| meeting. NAIS members will provide an overview of the Interim Report
| and host an open discussion of its contents. Please feel free to
| bring a bag lunch and join the conversation.
|
