Thanks.

I want to invite you and your colleagues to an event that we are hosting on 
June 22nd from 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. regarding the rollout of the new top 
level domains (.biz, .info, .pro) at the US Chamber (1615 H St., 
NW).  Presentations will be made by the Registries of .biz, .pro, and .info 
with a Q& A to follow.

Let me know if you or some one in your office will be able to attend. Also, 
if there are any other staffers you think might be interested, please feel 
free to forward this message.

Thanks.

Domains: The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is turning its attention to the 
technical aspects of the Internet and aims to help businesses learn about 
legal and regulatory issues emerging from the newly expanded Internet 
domain-name system. The chamber plans to host a conference June 22 to help 
familiarize businesses with the newly approved top-level domain names 
(TLDs) -- .biz, .info and .pro -- with the companies offering them and with 
the policies of the  <<http://www.icann.org/>http://www.icann.org/> 
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), which governs 
the domain-name system. "We want to begin to educate the business community 
about what is going on" with new TLDs, said Rick Lane, the chamber's 
director of e-commerce and Internet technology. Representatives from the 
three new domain registries are scheduled to deliver presentations at the 
conference.
