1. Sec. Report: By Sec.
2. How APTLD fund ICANN? On ICANN Relation Issue:
2.1 With the mutual understanding from the Board, APTLD will not pay to ICANN on invoice until the fee structure is done, not including individual ccTLD's donation, since ICANN does not consult to APTLD members on related issue.

3. On setting up WGs:
3.1.Multi-lingual DN and liaison WG:
a. Chon: Multi-lingual DN and liaison WG should have liaison with IETF,
MINC, ISO, Unicode...etc.
b. Sec. can gather these Multi-lingual DN information on APTLD website and make link to other related sites. Sec. can also make regular report to the Board.
c. JPNIC volunteers to prepare MINC information for board to make
decision, since many APTLD members are in MINC already.
3.2.Translation WG:
a. The priority of translation is the major issue. What should be translated? Who is going to read them?
b. Find the contact person in each ccTLD in order to identify qualified translators.

3.3. Awareness and Outreach WG
*B.K Kim gives the outreach presentation
a. Volunteers: Stafford Guest, Catherine from Nuie, B.K. Kim
b. Object: Focus on building more membership for APTLD and minimize the
effort that we already have many members.
c. Outreach WG will need additional fund for travel expense and separate
budget fo r different trip.
d. Stafford Guest suggests to have the smaller circle of outreach program. It might be easier and cheaper to attend for many AP islands, since there are many counties which can not afford the long way travel expense.
e.Tashiro-san suggests we need a working group for membership enrollment in addition to "awareness and outreach WG.
