FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - October 29, 1998

The Board of Directors of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names
and Numbers (ICANN) is pleased to invite any interested party to a special
open public meeting in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA on Saturday,
November 14, 1998, commencing at 9 am and concluding at 4 pm.

The purpose of the meeting is to let the new ICANN Board hear
the views and concrete suggestions of the Internet community on
matters of current importance to the work of ICANN. The Board
members wish to understand the issues and to engage in open
dialogue on ways to achieve the goals of the government's
White Paper.

We are developing an agenda.  It will be posted at the www.iana.org
Website by Monday, November 2, along with information on the location
of the meeting. The closest international airport to the meeting
location is Boston's Logan airport.

The Board wishes to express its appreciation to the organizers of
the previously scheduled Domain Name Support Organization (DNSO)
meeting in Monterrey, Mexico for their willingness to adjust their
meeting agenda so that attendees wishing to participate in both
meetings can do so. Information on the DNSO meeting can be found at
