Hey!
It is gratifying that my transcription of the BC meeting with ICANN financial staff has kicked off this process. I, too, would like to participate. Our mission on the Mission is not unlike the work of which I was a part in the early '80s when I worked for the Associated General Contractors of America in Washington, D.C.
The AGC was a trade association of folks who built bridges, dams, skyscrapers, tunnels and other large public and private works. It was a mix of contractors from every part of the country and included those who were signatory to union contractors and those who worked open shop (no unions).
With the election of Ronald Reagan as President and a deliberate shift of power to the states, these differences began to affect the day-to-day comity. And then came the competitive pressure from the Associated Builders and Contractors, a trade group that focused on one issue: open shop.
It caused the AGC to rethink its Mission. Sounds familiar. The task was to set goals that were inclusive and actionable. It meant that contractors with some different interests could still work together effectively.
I think we can accommodate our modest disparate interests by focusing on those things that bind us all, like asking for clear business rules (so we can know what do to), that they be consistent (so that we can confidently invest) and that they reinforce ease of use (so that we can focus on building customer/client loyalty).
Let's get this party started!
Cheers,
Berard

hi all,
first time back on the 'net since the meetings (a great trip to Machu Picchu, but no internet access to speak of).
i'd like to join this bandwagon -- my portfolio is small, but it means a lot to me and that's the reason i've been so involved with the endless ongoing series of Inter Registrar Transfer Policy Transfer (IRTP) working groups.

I agree with Jonathan domain portfolio management issues are critical to most businesses I think the BC focuses on some of the issues that impact management such as WHOIS, registrar compliance with the RAA, registrar and registry security etc. I know there are other issues I face with managing a portfolio that are not addressed in the BC.
I think domain portfolio management is one of many important business concerns.
I agree, domain name portfolio management isn't a BC issue per se./I think John is 'brainstorming' and we will just gather ideas and actually discuss different ideas later/I would add SSR, for instance.
.... and yes, I will put in a
discussion about accountability of officers/councilors, including the duties to participate, consult, etc.
