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
post info to AdCom list.
