RE: [council] GNSO Council - proposed agenda - Thursday 14 August 2003
by Bruce Tonkin 07 Aug '03

07 Aug '03

Hello Jeff, Thanks for the suggestions. With regard to the first item, we discussed this at the meeting in Montreal. The next step would appear to be for the registry constituency to prepare a paper for discussion that will lead to a recommendation from the GNSO Council. I will place this on the agenda for the next Council meeting on 25 September. You might like to coordinate with the ISP constituency and the ICANN Security and Stability Committee in the development of the paper. With regard to the second item, I will add this to the discussion on council structure in item 6 of the agenda. An appropriate follow up to our teleconference on August 14 is probably to schedule a teleconference with the ICANN Board to discuss the issues raised in item 6. As an approach to improving coordination - I suggest we schedule joint teleconferences with the Board perhaps quarterly with an agenda that might include general process issues associated with the Board and the GNSO (e.g item 6), and also to provide briefings on current policy development activities once they reach draft report status. Ideally we could time these joint teleconferences to occur before a physical ICANN meeting.

RE: [council] GNSO Council - proposed agenda - Thursday 14 Augus t 2003
by Neuman, Jeff 07 Aug '03

07 Aug '03

Bruce, I am submitting the revised gTLD Registries Paper to the Council. Following these same suggestions in Montreal, we have attempted on several occasions to get assistance from the ISP Constituency. Although this revised paper was submitted to the ISPs on June 24th, and several reminders were sent in the last two months, the Registries have received no response. We are very interested in comments from the ISPs along with the other constituencies, however, time is of the essence. Several TLDs, including the sponsored ones are having an incredibly difficult time with this issue which, if gone unaddressed in the immediate future, threatens their viability. Therefore, we are submitting it to the entire Council at this time. As this paper is included in the RFP for new sponsored TLDs (which comments are due by no later than August 25th), I would ask that this subject be included on next week's call. In addition, the sooner we can get an outreach effort underway, the sooner we can ensure the stability of these top-level domains. I also understand that this paper has, or is in the process, of being submitted to the Security and Stability Committee as well for its consideration. I ask the Council's help on this issue, and to make this a high priority. Thanks for your help.

New web site
by Milton Mueller 04 Aug '03

04 Aug '03

Glen: I have noticed that the new web site does not seem to include records of past DNSO Task Forces. What I have in mind are the documents at this page in the old web site: http://www.dnso.org/dnso/nctaskforcesindex.html I think it is critical to retain this information. The task force records contain priceless information about how policies evolved, how ICANN works (or fails to work) and helps to interpret the meaning of existing policies. Many of the issues, such as the .org reassignment, the WHOIS task force, and others, may need to be revisited. I hope that these archives can be maintained indefinitely on the new site. --MM
