April 5, 2005

Hello, webmaster, -a post MdP request. I cannot easily find approved GNSO Council meeting minutes on the website. Are these archived ? If so please add a link on the GNSO home page. The only way I can find them is to look at the mail list archive - this is less then efficient! Let me know plese when this change can be made. Philip Sheppard

ICANN and Everything Else
by Bret Fausett April 5, 2005

April 5, 2005

I would appreciate having a discussion on ICANN and its relationship to the UN/ITU processes, WSIS, WGIG, etc. I know that we have members who are active in both. My own view has been (and still is) that the two activities are separate and should stay that way. The discussion today has lead me to believe that my view may not shared. Can we discuss this at some point? Bret

[Fwd: [stratplan] FW: Strat Plan Consultation Process]
by Glen De Saint Géry April 3, 2005

April 3, 2005

FYI Dear all At the Amsterdam Consultation on the ICANN Strategic Plan, many in attendance agreed that the stakeholders could make a useful contribution to the development of the Strategic Plan planning/consultation process. Attached is a “straw proposal” drawn from Grant Forsyth’s presentation on Day Two of the Amsterdam Consultation and expanded through the contributions of a few willing volunteers: Grant Forsyth, Maureen Stubberly, Chuck Gomes, and Marilyn Cade. It is intended as a working document and all comments and suggestions are welcomed. The idea is that on Wednesday, it can be one contribution to the discussion. Undoubtedly, others in the community may have contributions or suggestions. I’ll be traveling as of Thursday, but will have some access to hotmail over the week end. Please feel free to post any comments to the StratPlan list. Do also feel free to widely circulate this document to others in the community who you think are interested. The meeting on Wednesday at ICANN will be an opportunity for real time input from those who participate in the meeting. I hope all who are in MdP will come along to all three of the consultation meetings and contribute their suggestions to the ICANN staff who are hosting the meetings. Denise, Axel, and Chris, can we ask that you distribute to your groups? Best regards, Marilyn -- Glen de Saint Géry ICANN glen[at]icann.org http://www.icann.org

Re: [gnso-dow123] [Fwd: RFC 920]definition of admin and technical contacts
by Ross Rader April 3, 2005

April 3, 2005

I would add to this that this "definition" was specific to the function of DNS registrations within the ARPA/DARPA networks. While this document has historical significance, it is long since obsolete. For the most part, the Registry and Registrar agreements now set the requirements for estabishing domain names, not RFC 920. To understand the true historical context of this document, one should also review RFC 1032 which describes the responsibilities of Domain Administrators - http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1032.html The most recent set of definitions, outside of the agreements, can be found here: http://www.icann.org/gnso/transfers-tf/report-exhc-12feb03.htm Glen De Saint Géry wrote: > Kiyoshi requested that this be forwarded. > Glen > > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: RFC 920 > Date: Sun, 3 Apr 2005 11:26:29 -0400 > From: Kiyoshi I.
