All, The Board met by teleconference on September 11. A detailed report is available at http://www.icann.org/minutes/prelim-report-11sep07.htm . The main decisions at the meeting were: - draft terms of reference for the Board review were put up for public comment; - Hagen Hultzsch, former Board member from Germany, was appointed as new Nomcom Chair for 2008; the Board also confirmed Mr. Ribeiro Filho from Brazil as Nomcom representative for academic institutions; - Delhi was chosen as host for the ICANN meeting in February 2008, while Dubai was recommended for a regional meeting in 2008; - .kp (North Korea) was delegated; - .me and .rs (Montenegro and Serbia) were delegated, on the basis that .yu should be discontinued in a reasonable period of time; - there was some discussion on some gTLD contracts, particularly .aero and .post, which present some open issues; - there was some discussion on Whois, where staff reported that support for OPOC is vanishing and the GNSO policy process is likely to end up in nothing. Discussion on the Board list, apart from general chat, was mostly focused on the issue of succession to Vint. The matter was deferred to a special meeting held on October 4 in Frankfurt, including the new Board members for 2008, in which the new Chairman was to be picked, even if informally. Wendy attended that meeting for the ALAC, so she will supplement this report with hers. Regards, -- vb.

The matter was deferred to a special meeting held on October 4 in Frankfurt, including the new Board members for 2008, in which the new Chairman was to be picked, even if informally.

Thank Vittorio,
Any news on the rereat, per New Chair selection? Wendy?
The incoming board and liaisons met in Frankfurt last week to discuss how to be more effective as a Board and the requirements for the next Board chair and vice-chair. No decisions were made at this meeting. Votes will be taken at the AGM. I look forward to reporting in more detail -- and conveying At-Large input -- when the board discusses substantive policy matters. --Wendy -- Wendy Seltzer -- wendy@seltzer.org Visiting Professor, Northeastern University School of Law Fellow, Berkman Center for Internet & Society http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/seltzer.html http://www.chillingeffects.org/ http://www.torproject.org/
