[nc-transfer] Transfer TF chair request

["Cade,Marilyn S - LGA" <mcade@att.com>]

Jeff, and other members of the TF

In our last call, we discussed how to address the work of the TF on transfers and deletions, as separate items. Jeff and Christine objected to the TF having a discussion about "their views" and perspective.  As chair, I asked that we discuss this within the TF and make a recommendation within the the TF to present to the Names Council.

Let's focus on this discussion first within the TF so that we aren't having an external argument before we have a TF recommendation.

 

I guess Jeff wanted to serve notice personally on the NC that the TF is having this discussion. I'm sure others on the TF, Jeff, are also consulting with their constituencies. Let's do that and come into Thursday's meeting as agreed to have the discussion.

 

Let's please keep this discussion on the Transfer TF list. This is an archived list. Dan Halloran is on the Transfer TF list.

 

Jeff, Christine, and other TF members: please communicate with your constituency reps off this distribution list so we can try to stay focused on effective, efficient professional processes.

:-)

 

Therefore from here on,I'll abide by that courtesy to the rest of the TF.

 

Regards, Marilyn

Subject: [nc-transfer] Deletions Issue (outside our mandate)

All,

 

On the last two calls we have been talking about whether we should address the many issues surrounding domain name deletions in the "TRANSFER Task Force."  Let me again reiterate that as important I believe that issue is to the Internet community, the TRANSFERS Task Force is not the appropriate body to be working on that issue (or those issues....actually I am not sure what the issues we would be looking at would be).

 

The point is clear.  There are rules that have been set out by the Names Council on the operation of Task Forces (and there will be different ones in the new GNSO that we are working on), but the fact remains that a Task Force is convened for a narrow purpose and may not exceed that scope without a formal recommendation from the Names Council regardless of how bad we want to address the issue.  As inconvenient or time consuming as this process may be, we must follow these rules.  The Deletions issues may indeed need to go to a Task Force.  But that is a decision for the Names Council and not for us.

 

We have a tough job to do, and that is to draft a report on Transfers.  We have to buckle down and get that done.  I implore each of you to recommend that we refer the deletions issues to the Names Council to convene a different task force to address this subject.  Neither Christine nor I were selected by my constituency to represent them on deletions. 

 

Personally, I am not sure I have the time to address those issues on a Task Force.  So, I am putting everyone on the group on notice, that if we start addressing those issues, neither Christine nor I are authorized to speak on behalf of the constituency.  Please try to understand that I am not doing this to be difficult, but rather because I (like a lot of people on this committee) am extremely busy and do not feel that I can devote the time that is needed to address the "DELETIONS" issue. 

 

I remain faithfully committed, however, to finishing the work on the Transfers.

Thanks.
