Approval of the Agenda
http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/20020724.NCteleconf-agenda.html
The agenda was approved with a proposal by Ken Stubbs to discuss the NC chair elections.

Decision 2: Secretariat will post an election schedule for the next NC teleconference on August 1, 2002.

Philip Sheppard proposed voting on the report as a whole.

Further discussions after the recommmendation summary questioned the procedural process and Roger Cochetti said that the Task Force should not bind or restrict the Names Council. He went on to suggest that the elements should be voted on rather than the whole.
Bruce Tonkin askedwhich of the several WLS versions were referred to in the report. Marilyn Cade suggested that Chuck Gomes would be asked to approve the version.
To a question from Ellen Shankman as to what would happen if the Board would go ahead after a no vote from the Task Force, Louis Touton explained he believed that putting forward the views of the various parts of the community was more important than attempting to characterize those views in terms of whether they constituted consensus.
Voting in the Task Force itself was discussed and it was felt that questioning the Task Force composition at this stage was inappropiate. However the eligibility of constituencies to vote or participate in the case where they were not directly affected was questioned and Louis Touton said that the exclusion of constituency representatives from voting in the NC would present concerns under the by-laws. Constituency votes can be taken conditionally and reported to the Board.

Ken Stubbs expressed concern about the section on cost, particularly the specific participation of the ccTLDs in this vote and proposed a friendly amendment to remove that recommendation. Grant Forsyth said that price is a key issue and is properly considered and reported.
Louis Touton Louis Touton said that a principle for establishing price caps was being put forward in the current version of report which gained support, but that no position on the specific price was being stated.

He went on to say that in terms of utility to the Board it would be useful to know if the Names Council feels the report does not appropiately and accurately reflect the views of the constituencies as this would be an important consideration from the Board.

Philip Sheppard moved for a vote of adoption for the report as a whole.

15 voted in favour, 3 voted against (gTLD constituency) 1 abstention and Greg Ruth was absent, no proxy given.

The motion carried.
Decision 3: Report adopted

Roger Cochetti stated after the vote that it should be noted that the gTLD constituency feels that the Task Force and Names Council have gone way beyond their proper role in policy matters.

Item 5: Status of 2002 fees

The ISPCP constituency reporteded that they were in the process of collecting members' fees, and, due to the holidays, expected to be able to provide a payment date by the end of August.
The non-commercials had received the appropiate invoices and were distributing them.
The gTLD constituency said that they had the intent to pay but could not give a date.

Item 4: ICANN Reform and proposed Resolution.
This was deferred to the next meeting

The teleconference ended at 16:30
