[To :council[at]gnso.icann.org; liaison[at]gnso.icann.org] Travel tips : South African Electricity the plugs used in SA are like this: http://kropla.com/!m.htm not to be confused with http://kropla.com/!d.htm if you want dimensions checkout http://www.elect-spec.com/uadapter.htm specifically the model Model A10L as opposed the model A10 - the A10 will not fit. The local hosts have arranged free transport from the airport to your accommodation in Cape Town. Please look for the ICANN stand at the airport, there will be a regular bus service, but you may have a short wait. Money is best changed at a money exchange or at the bank. Both are within easy walking distance of the Convention center. It is advisable not to walk through town at night. If you are staying a distance from the Waterfront, rather take a taxi.

Can we also discuss the development of a process work with the other SOs to select liasons and develop agreed upon functions for the liasons. This needs to be a joint effort probably, across the SOs. By the way, I am not saying that the only option is appointment of individuals. We could for instance decide that ocallsional working sessions are a better way to further the purpose of liaison functions. But we should discuss the topic of liaisons at this meeting and begin discussions with the other SOs. There was a working group on this topic back at the Ghana meeting but much has transpired since. We could perhaps get a staff report on whom we need to have liasons with, and discuss operational options briefly. As I read the Strategic Plan it occurs to me that we should have these discussions underway within Council. -----Original Message----- From: "Bruce Tonkin" <Bruce.Tonkin(a)melbourneit.com.au> Date: Mon, 22 Nov 2004 11:05:06 To:<council(a)gnso.icann.org> Subject: [council] Draft Agenda for Council meeting in Cape Town - Friday 3 Dec 2004 Draft Agenda for Council meeting in Cape Town Friday 3 Dec 2004 Item 0: Approval of agenda Item 1: Approval of minutes of 18 November 2004 Item 2: Update on Draft initial report on procedure for use by ICANN in considering requests for consent and related contractual amendments to allow changes in the architecture and operation of a gTLD registry.

I assume then that there will be general agreement that the Board should not reach any decision based upon the Staff Recommendation alone. That conclusion, if agreed by the GNSO (which I suppose should be the topic during the call) should be conveyed to the Board asap.

Mobile phone in Cape Town

The info below might be interesting for those of us who will be in Cape Town. AFAIK you don't have to be a member of ISOC to get this cheap deal for mobile telephony. And otherwise, just become a global member. It is free...

Marc- I agree ...no final decision should be made on this issue. The IPC's primary concern is that the ICANN Staff and President will be making a recommendation regarding WIPO II and that the Board could make a decision based upon that recommendation prior to our knowing/discussing the recommendation. Certainly, we need to have some idea of where the Staff/President are generally coming out on this and more specifically the nature of their recommendation --- particularly since no consensus has been reached on this issue.

I do not mind at all that we discuss this tomorrow. I would oppose though any attempt to rush anything through tomorrow.
