Call for Constituency Statements on WHOIS
by Bruce Tonkin 25 Feb '04

25 Feb '04

Hello All, Just a reminder that the GNSO Constituencies should prepare their constituency statements for the three WHOIS task forces by 19 March 2004. Council members should forward this request to their constituencies, and encourage development of these statements during the meetings in Rome. There will be opportunities to discuss the issues in the various constituency meetings, as well as in the WHOIS workshops. >From the ICANN bylaws: Constituency Statements. The (Task Force) Representatives will each be responsible for soliciting the position of their constituencies, at a minimum, and other comments as each Representative deems appropriate, regarding the issue under consideration. This position and other comments, as applicable, should be submitted in a formal statement to the task force chair (each, a "Constituency Statement") within thirty-five (35) calendar days after initiation of the PDP. Every Constituency Statement shall include at least the following: (i) If a Supermajority Vote was reached, a clear statement of the constituency's position on the issue; (ii) If a Supermajority Vote was not reached, a clear statement of all positions espoused by constituency members; (iii) A clear statement of how the constituency arrived at its position(s). Specifically, the statement should detail specific constituency meetings, teleconferences, or other means of deliberating an issue, and a list of all members who participated or otherwise submitted their views; (iv) An analysis of how the issue would affect the constituency, including any financial impact on the constituency; and (v) An analysis of the period of time that would likely be necessary to implement the policy. Regards, Bruce Tonkin

Draft Agenda for Council meeting - 3 March 2004
by Bruce Tonkin 24 Feb '04

24 Feb '04

Hello All, Attached is a draft agenda for the meeting in Rome. Note item 4 regarding GNSO planning for the remainder of 2004. I recommend we focus on what measurable outcomes we are seeking as an organisation for gtlds (taking into account ICANN the company and the GNSO as the policy development body for gtlds). We also need to consider what is achieveable from the current ICANN staff resources for 2004 - both in terms of ability to support policy development, as well as implement policy outcomes. It is pointless doing policy work if the policy can't be implemented by ICANN and the GNSO constituencies, and if we can't measure whether the policy work was successful. We should treat policy development work as a process of continual refinement rather than trying to determine a final solution for any problem, and to do this we need to be clear on the outcomes we are seeking and be able to track performance against those outcomes. Regards, Bruce Tonkin Item 1: Approval of minutes of last meeting - 19 Feb 2004 - Actions arising Item 2: Update on WHOIS task forces (30 mins) Receive an update from the WHOIS task force chairs - key outcomes from workshops - assess current level of consensus - possible recommendations Item 3:Update on PDP for approval process for gtld registry changes (30 mins) Receive an update from the GNSO Committee chair (Bruce Tonkin) - key outcomes from workshops - assess current level of consensus - possible recommendations Item 4: GNSO 2004 planning (60 mins) - what are the measurable outcomes we are seeking from ICANN for 2004 given its current level of resourcing - ie how do we measure success from policy work? (examples may include establishing a baseline for current number of transfer complaints to ICANN, and seeking to reduce that by some percentage, or establishing a baseline for WHOIS data accuracy, and seeking to improve that etc) - what are the priority areas for further work Note the following ranked list of priorities was discussed in the meeting of 29 October 2004: (1) registry services (2) WHOIS (3) new gtlds (4) enforcement (5) UDRP Marc Schneiders has also suggested considering policy aspects associated with possible re-assignment of the .net gtld. Item 5: Any other business Regards, Bruce Tonkin

WHOIS Policy Development Process timelines
by Bruce Tonkin 22 Feb '04

22 Feb '04

To: ICANN Secretary From: GNSO Chair Dear John, The ICANN bylaws set forth a process and timeline for policy development. Article X, Section 3(4) States: "The GNSO Council is responsible for managing the policy development process of the GNSO. It shall adopt such procedures as it sees fit to carry out that responsibility, provided that such procedures are approved by the Board, and further provided that, until any modifications are recommended by the GNSO Council and approved by the Board, the applicable procedures shall be as set forth in Section 6 of this Article." The WHOIS policy development is scheduled to take longer than the PDP process allows, as the process is currently incorporating a data gathering phase (http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois-privacy/ ). At its meeting on 19 Feb, the GNSO Council approved the following timeline for completing the WHOIS policy development. March 19, 2004 - Receive Constituency Statements April 9, 2004 - Preliminary Task Force Report April 29, 2004 - Public Comment Period Closes May 20, 2004 - Final Report Due The GNSO Council seeks the Board's approval for the new timeline. Regards, Bruce Tonkin

Two topics we may need to discuss soon
by Marc Schneiders 19 Feb '04

19 Feb '04

In stead of bringing this up during the 'any other business' a few minutes ago in the call I do this by email. There are two topics that require attention of the council soon, I think. 1. The (re)assignment of .net. (2005...) 2. Review of the UDRP. I would like to have sufficient time for both these issues, so I propose to start on them ASAP, after Rome. -- Marc Schneiders (NCUC)
