Ph. Sheppard chaired the NC meeting.
1. Adoption of minutes of October 11, 2001 teleconference:
A motion to adopt the minutes was moved by Ken Stubbs and seconded by
Marilyn Cade.
Decision D 1: All in favour of the motion and the minutes of the
October 11 teleconference were adopted.
2. Verification of telephone patch-in of remote Board Members
Paul Kane, Erica Roberts and Grant Forsyth were on line.
3. Agenda Item 3: At-Large - session with ALSC:
The Chair welcomed Karl Bildt who gave the presentation of the ALSC
final report:
http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/icann/mdr2001/archive/pres/bildt-alsc.html
The recommendation is that an ALSO should be a self financing low-cost
body to allow for maximum participation. One third of the ICANN board
and two thirds of the membership would be required to make structural
changes. The ALSC recommends an extension of its life until March 2002
to maintain momentum, seen as important for the stability of ICANN.
The constituency conclusions:
* The BC and the gTLDs and the ISPC are generally supportive.
* The Registrars have made proposals that they are working on in
parallel with the comments and are taking a closer look at the
impact it will have on ICANN in 4/5 years.
* The ccTLDs do not agree with the restriction of membership to DN
holders.
* The NCDNH believes there should be 9 At large directors.
* The IPC said that verification could be used to improve the
accuracy of the WHOIS and recommended 6 board seats.
The chair concluded the discussions saying issues of detail were still
pending and a further working relationship between the ALSC and the NC
on these issues is foreseen.
4. Agenda Item 4: Transfers - NC resolution
Marilyn Cade, interim chair to the Transfers Task Force, reported on
concerns within the Registrar constituency and that other
constituencies were keen to see a rapid resolution of the issue.
* it is estimated that 70% of domain name registrants are indirect
and may be unaware of who their registrars are.
* policies need to take this into account
* the relationship between registrant and registrar needs to be
thought through, whether or not the registrar gets power of
attorney
* there are concerns about delays when transfers do not work and
inconsistency between registrars
* there must be clarification that the issue under discussion is
transfers between registrars
* set milestones for the task Force and complete the work within 3
months.
The following motion was proposed by Paul Kane and seconded by Grant
Forsyth:
That the NC shows its support for the Transfer Task Force and
the importance of its work. The NC requests ICANN staff to
assist the task force in any legal definitions and the
identification of any contract modifications that may be
needed. The NC looks forward to receiving a resolution of
this important issue by the Ghana meeting (March 2002).
Decision D2: The motion was voted on and passed unanimously
5. Agenda Item 5: IDN - NC resolution:
Elisabeth Porteneuve reported that progress had been made on better
understanding of the issue. It is complicated by the fact that a
variety of internet services rely on domain names. All services may not
work with all implementations of IDNs. Modifications may be required on
end-user software. A series of teleconferences are scheduled between 26
November and 4 December for information and clarification from IETF,
Verisign and MINC. IETF work has been postponed slightly.
o The IDNs will be part of the DNS thus part of ICANN's
responsibility for overall reliability, stability and utility of
the internet
o IDN implementation will offer functionality and partial
implementation may impose substantial costs on registrars.
Action: Ken Stubbs suggested inviting an IETF representative to the
next teleconference
6. Agenda Item 8: GAC reaction to NC resolution - probable informal
dialogue with GAC member:
http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/20011026.gac-answer-NCresol.html
Christopher Wilkinson said:
o that there had been support from the dot INFO registry and ICANN
for a "holding phase" for the most sensitive strings
o many countries would have preferred to protect more strings.
o no decision has been made on future new TLDs
o the GACs concern is not restricted to either deceptive trade
practices or pure authority - countries vary.
o names conflicts are a classic issue for the Names Council.
R. Cochetti suggested that one of the task forces could take this issue
on board.
Philip Sheppard thanked the GAC vice-chair for the clarification that
their request does not go beyond dot INFO and ISO 3166.
7. Agenda Item 6: Adoption of final report from the Review Task Force:
The gTLDs constituency introduced a last minute objective to one part
of the report. The NC Chair expressed his regret about this as there
had been a due process and timetable for such comments. In debate it
emerged that there was no intent of the task force to change the DNSO
consensus process - they had merely recommended a clarification.
It was decided to defer a vote and further discussion to the Wednesday,
14 November meeting.
8. Agenda Item 7: Dot Org interim report:
http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/council/Arc06/msg00142.htm
The final report will be sent to the Names Council by December
following agreement by the task force. There was good participation.
Although the task force would like to review the RFP drawn up by ICANN
to make sure it reflects the policy, it will not live on beyond this
point.
Ken Stubbs announced the NC dinner on Tuesday night at the Chart House
at 21.00
The meeting adjourned at 17.10. Los Angeles time
