Agenda item 1. Re ccTLD NC elections:
Dennis:
1.1 ICANN Board gave us a waiver thru 15 Jan, 2000, and we have until 31
Jan to produce "terms of reference", or a document telling ICANN how we will
insure "geographic diversity". Said document to show how we will produce 3
NC members who are citizens of 3 different regions.
1.2. Do we want to accept ICANN rules?
1.3. If so, on what time scale?
1.4 If we decide to abide by these rules-
1.4.1 What are they?
1.4.2 How do we get it (the geographic diversity)?
1.4.3 If we achieve it, do we then have a forced rotation at the end of the
term?
Kilnam: I do not wish to go for formal rotation.
Dennis: A 3 year term is too long, it should be 2 years
Yes, 2 years with overlap- no forced rotation, Dennis will work out a plan.
Meanwhile- we present it to ICANN, If ICANN excludes us (ccTLDs) "so be it"
Dennis will post by 31 Jan a memo to ICANN
Agenda Item 2
We'll review the Cairo schedule, and slot in some meetings for ccTLD,
possibly AdCOM Mon AM 10-12 noon.
Agenda Item 3
3.1 ICANN wants approx 30% from us. We intend involved in the discussion of
next year's ICANN budget.
3.2 Task force on this- Willie Black, who suggests "bands" of $ 1 K, 10K,
25K, 50K, to get to $ 1.5 mil for current year.
3.3 At CENTR, there is $ 400,000 on the table as an offer.
3.4. Kilnam- our model will be different. Let's come up with a number for
1999
3.5. Dennis will circulate a memo on the CENTR model.
3.6. We don't like tying dollars per name registered. We must consider the
GNP of the country as well.
3.7 Kilnam will develop a set of guidelines, based on quantity of names,
price per name, GDP/GNP for years 2000-2001.
3.8. Meanwhile, what inputs should ccTLDs formally have in the budget
process (setting the budget).
. Dennis: CENTR says there should be a ccTLD rep on the ICANN budget
committee., and perhaps extra board members.
Peter: "No taxation without representation"- we MUST have ccTLD board level
positions guaranteed if we are participating in the financing of ICANN.
3.9 Dennis- In Cairo, let's establish a new ccTLD organization, and consider
addressing
"Best Practices" for ccTLDs
Delegation/ReDelegation process
Advising to ICANN
Seek to have Board Members
Have a regionally based board
Possibly locate the HQ in Geneva.
Kilnam- should we discuss the funding issues with NSI & gTLD's ? possibly
early Monday AM or Tuesday?
4.0 $ 5000 contribution- a number of ccTLDs, and CENTR have offerred
contributions. There is/are no invoices sent to anyone as yet, or any
indication where the money should be paid to.
5.0. NC report - nothing that is not on lists
6.0 WG report - nothing that is not on lists
7.0 GA report - nothing that is not on lists
8.0 (new) AdCom election-
Dennis- Each region should appoint a member for the coming year, 5 regions
plus IATLD
Kilnam will enter this discussion in list
9. ICANN open forum agenda:
Delegation and Policies
Best Practices
Procedure to Deligate/ReDeligate
GAC and CENTR working on a document
Peter- ccTLD's should determine their own "Best Practices", and make
recommendations
As for delegation issue- "There should be a process and guidelines in place
while remaining silent about who (might have) (has) the right to redelegate
or to put new zones into the root.
Dennis will have a document after his Malta conference, (this week), and
will post same.
AD Com will reconvene 21 Feb 2000, same time. Peter will set up Teleconf and
