Position descriptions for Council and task force members
by Bruce Tonkin April 29, 2005

April 29, 2005

Hello All, With the nominating committee process for appointing people to the GNSO Council, I am often asked what is required for a Council member. In response to this request, and also to provide guidance for constituencies that are appointing members of the Council, I have asked Glen to begin work on position descriptions for Council and task force members, as well as the chairs of Council and task force. As these are developed they will be circulated to Council members for comment. Any Council members that wish to contribute to this process should let me now. I would like to inform prospective members on the time commitment required. I have asked Glen to survey the Council to determine how much time is spent by individual members on Council matters. Note this time should include the time spent in liaising with members of constituencies in the GNSO to discuss policy issues that are being managed by the Council. Individual responses will be kept confidential by Glen. I have only asked for information on the average time being spent. Regards, Bruce

Context for the staff report on the transfers policy
by Bruce Tonkin April 19, 2005

April 19, 2005

Hello All, For those that have recently joined the GNSO Council, the following provides some background to the recently released staff report on transfers. As part of the new transfers policy developed by the GNSO (see http://www.icann.org/gnso/transfers-tf/report-12feb03.htm ), the GNSO Council required that the ICANN Staff analyse and report to the GNSO Council at three, six and twelve month intervals after implementation with the goal of determining; i. How effectively and to what extent the policies have been implemented and adopted by Registrars, Registries and Registrants, ii. Whether or not modifications to these policies should be considered by the GNSO as a result of the experiences gained during the implementation and monitoring stages, iii. The effectiveness of the dispute resolution processes and a summary of the filings that have been resolved through the process. The new policy at (http://www.icann.org/transfers/policy-12jul04.htm ) went into effect on 12 November 2004. The three monthly review has just been published by the ICANN staff at: http://www.icann.org/transfers/transfer-report-14apr05.pdf We are now due for the 6 monthly review. The Council will need to decide whether any refinements are necessary to the transfers policy. I encourage Council members to advise their constituencies of the transfers report, and discuss whether changes are warranted. Regards, Bruce Tonkin

Hello All, I have been informed that 5 May 2005 coincides with the Ascension Day holiday in much of Europe. I therefore suggest that the 5 May meeting be changed to 12 May 2005.
