The Board continued its discussion from its last Board meeting concerning a liaison relationship being set up between the NRO and the ITU-T.

Discussion ensued with each member voicing their thoughts and concerns. It was the sense of the Board that this discussion be continued at the upcoming Board meeting on November 8th.

This was seconded by Bill Manning. The Chair asked for any further discussion. There being no further comments, the motion passed unanimously via role call vote.

Bob Stratton presented the ARIN Budget figures for 2005 and the proposed Budget for 2006.
