Hi, someone let me know that my attachment
with changes to the minutes to make them more detailed and capture the nature
of the discussion and thoughtfulness with which the Council approached this
topic…I didn’t see that in the original very short version…
Here it is again… I made many
changes. As noted, I hadn’t read Bruce’s document at the time. I’ll
look at the two of them now together. They need to be consistent, of course.

Council extract from draft minutes 1 September 2005- suggested
changes/expansion
Dear Glen, thanks for the great turn
around. The minutes, however, are a bit too terse to provide a full sense of
the nature and scope of the discussion. It is important for the reader to
understand that the Council was fully engaged, and considered several
alternatives before finalizing a recommendation. I’ve added in some
elaboration that moves this into that direction.
The Board won’t listen to the
MP3/the minutes need to have enough detail to note that the Councilors were
fully engaged, and considering all the relevant aspects, etc.
Hope this is helpful… of course,
feel free to reject anything not useful. I did this from memory/rough
notes… so may have missed/or even misunderstood something.
Marilyn

present at 14:05 CET.
Bruce Tonkin chaired this
teleconference.
Bruce Tonkin clarified
that the outcome of the GNSO teleconference would be conveyed, as a response
that had been requested via the CEO, Dr. Paul Twomey, to the ICANN Board. The
following step would be to work on the detail of the proposed approach to
moving forward with the development of policy for new gtlds and report the
Council's progress to the Board.
Bruce Tonkin proposed seeking a high level
decision that the GNSO Council would develop two policy development processes
with the need to engage outside experts to assist in the two separate
processes.
1. A policy development process which would look at the issues including
- whether to introduce gTLDs,
- the criteria for approving applications for new gTLDs
- the allocation method, assuming that there was a limit to how many gTLDs
could be introduced at once
- the key contractual conditions for those TLDs which might include conditions
such as: escrow policies, obligation to use an ICANN accredited registrar etc.
2. A policy development process to be undertaken in collaboration with the
ccNSO for the introduction of IDNs at the root level.
3. The expectation that the evaluation of the previous round of new gTLDs would
continue and the remaining work would be completed.
4. The GNSO will be seeking a budget to obtain expert advice to assist in these
policy development initiatives.
Bruce Tonkin
called for a decision and council unanimously decided, by voice to support the
decision.
In discussion:
Marilyn Cade supported
the approach with the caveat to the Board that additional resources, in the nature
of expert advice, were needed.
Ross Rader
suggested that a compilation of work on IDNs, similar to that which was done on
new gTLDs should be undertaken.
Bruce Tonkin declared the GNSO
meeting closed and thanked everybody for participating.
The meeting ended: 16: 00 CET.
