Hello All, See below for Board resolutions from the Board meeting on 28 Feb 2013. http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-28feb13-en.htm Nothing much to report from a GNSO perspective. There were a couple of changes approved for country codes .ml (Mali) and .укр (Ukraine) . The decision on appointing the Arab Center for Dispute Resolution as UDRP Provider was deferred, pending the outcome of public comment on their updated proposal. It last went for comment in 2010 I believe. Regards, Bruce Tonkin 1 Consent Agenda: a. Approval of Board Meeting Minutes Resolved (2013.02.28.01), the Board approves the minutes of the 2 February 2013 Special Meeting of the ICANN Board. b. Action from Board Compensation Committee Whereas, the retention of high calibre staff is essential to ICANN's operations and ICANN desires to ensure competitive compensation for staff. Whereas, the Board recently appointed David Olive as an ICANN Officer (see http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-02feb13-en.htm#1....). Whereas, independent market data provided by independent compensation experts indicates that the current compensation for David Olive, ICANN's Vice President, Policy Development Support, falls within ICANN's target of the 50th to 75th percentile based on market data supplied by ICANN's independent compensation experts. Whereas, the Compensation Committee and the full Board have confirmed that they are not conflicted with respect to the Vice President, Policy Development Support's compensation package. Resolved (2013.02.28.02), the Board adopts the current compensation of Officer David Olive, Vice President, Policy Development Support, as reasonable based on the market data and recommendations from the independent compensation experts. 2. Main Agenda: a. Arab Center for Dispute Resolution's Proposal to Serve as UDRP Provider Discussion was carried forward to another meeting, and no resolution was taken. b.
