Re: [nc-budget] NAMES COUNCIL BUDGET COMMITTEE DRAFT REPORT TO NAMES COUNCIL

["Philip Sheppard" <philip.sheppard@aim.be>]

Roger,
your bullets points are fine except the last two items. Both these go beyond
what we agreed or even recommended during the Budget Committee
teleconference and I cannot support them at this stage. I propose there
deletion.

Recording secretary
The principle of a recording secretary needs to be discussed.
The objective has not been made explicit.
The added value has not been made explicit.
The implications for the understandability and communication value of NC
meeting summaries when written by a legally oriented author has not been
discussed.
The implications of accountability/ownership of an NC summary as a result of
having two individuals (a DNSO secretary and a recording secretary) have not
been discussed.

Budget for web services
I have no problem with the idea of trying to put a ceiling on costs but an
arbitrary recommendation on one item seems premature and potentially
duplication of the budget presented by afnic some months ago. If we are to
make a budget recommendation lets do so based on the whole budget having
resolved the two funds issue. It is too piecemeal otherwise.
