Organization that was submitted to ICANN on April 23, 1999.
2. Cover Letter
This is a copy of the cover letter that was used to submit the draft
to ICANN.
Dear Esther,
Enclosed please find a description of a proposed Protocol
Support Organization (PSO) for ICANN's consideration. This
description is purposefully informal as it is meant to be a basis for
discussion and not a final formal legal document.
This proposal was developed primarily by using the open
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) poisson working group mailing
list to discuss successive versions of the proposal. In addition the
proposal has benefited from extensive discussion within the IETF's
Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG) and Internet Architecture
Board (IAB). The proposal also benefited from extended discussions
with representatives of the International Telecommunication Union
(ITU) and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
I look forward to ICANN's evaluation of this proposal and am
also looking forward to the MOU development meeting noted in section
1.c of the proposal.
