[Ecommerce] US E-Commerce Roundatable

[Torres, Frank]

Jamie, since this was your idea, seems inappropriate to start things off
without you.  Maybe we can agree on a better date, at least for the first
meeting and then agree on a set time every month.

		I think the CU conference room on the 7th would be a great
way to
		begin.  I'll be out of town, but others will be here, so I
would say, we
		should go ahead.    My only concern would be that the room
may be a bit
		small.  But maybe for the first meeting, we don't have to
invite the
		whole world.  The TPR meetings were open, and often
generated crowds of
		50  to 100 people.  

		With regard to the issues, I should have said something like
"for
		example," because it was not intended to be restrictive.
Certainly
		Internet governance should be talked about too, as well as
other
		issues.  Indeed, I'll in at an ICANN board meeting on the
7th, which is
		why I can't come on that day.
