From the Preliminary Report of the February 18th Board Meeting: "On 26 January 2004, ICANN's General Counsel wrote to VeriSign to document the conclusion of negotiations concerning the conditions on VeriSign's proposed offering of WLS. During this Board Meeting, the Board authorized the public posting of the 26 January 2004 letter (PDF) setting forth the results of the negotiations and asked that this matter be placed on the Board's agenda for the publicly-held Board Meeting for 6 March 2004 in Rome, Italy."
