FINAL  Meeting Agenda

The Internet has continued to grow at an astonishing rate.  This diverse
expansion has attracted the interests of several regulating organizations
and governments.  Are the industry self-governing groups (e.g., ISOC, IAB,
IANA, etc.) sufficient, or is there a role for governmental bodies (e.g.,
FCC, ITU, etc.)?  Are new industry groups needed, as the White House's
Green Paper suggests?  If so, how will they come about?

The final agenda includes the following speakers;

* Ira C. Magaziner - Senior Advisor to The President for Policy Development
  http://www.ntia.doc.gov/ntiahome/domainname/domainname.htm

* Barbara A. Dooley - Executive Director, Commercial Internet eXchange
Association      http://www.cix.org

* David W. Maher - Chair of the  Policy Oversight Committee (POC), Council
of Registrars (CORE)   http://www.gtld-mou.org/docs/core.html

* Donald Heath - President/CEO of the Internet Society 
  http://www.isoc.org

Following the speaker presentations, there will be an open Q&A session with
the audience.
