Title: Message

I agree with Jeff that "consideration of - alternative or additional transfer proposals " is outside of the scope of the Implementation TF.  Should the ITF find it not be practical to implement any specific aspect of the TTF's recommendations, the aspects found to be impractical should be referred back to the TTF for assessment.

Elana,

 

I agree with your first statement, but with respect to analyzing other proposals, I believe unfortunately that me be outside our scope.  I think our job is to analyze the final report only and its implementation -- and not to rehash ground that has already been covered.  If I am wrong, please let me know.

 

I will note that the old VeriSign proposal has a lot of overlap with things in the TF Final Report.

Jeff

I would suggest acouple of changes to Ross' proposal:

a) the 1/15 date should slide to allow for more time for analysis.  This is the key task for us and should not be rushed.  I'd rather see us compress the final review.

b) analysis of the feasibility of the implementation should include comparison to - and consideration of - alternative or additional transfer proposals such as that proposed by the VGRS registry as an efficient tool for the committee to utilize.

Regards, Elana

Bruce/All,

I would like to request that we include a discussion of this charter
proposal on tomorrow's agenda. I'm sure that all of you would agree that
that in order to meet the objectives that have been set forth by the NC
for this group, we will need to have a clear understanding of what it is
we have been tasked to do and when we need to go it by. As this is our
first call, I'm not sure if someone else has been tasked by our interim
Chair to come up with a similar proposal or not, so in the absence of
information to the contrary, I offer the following contribution.

It would be my intention to agree upon this, or revised text, during
tomorrows call in order that we can proceed with our work quickly and
effectively. Note that with the exception of the mandate, all of these
items are up for grabs and purely intended to act as a focal point for
our discussion. If it needs to change, then we should change it as a
group ;)

Please do not hesitate to drop me a note if you have any questions or
require clarification on this proposal.
