Quorum present
* Liability Insurance for Names Council Members
The NC wishes to have a clear view on his legal situation. The
overview
of a legal contract seems necessary
Action: Dennis Jennings will contact Mike Roberts and request for a
copy of contract and more information.
* Election of GA Chair, information from Joe Sims
There is a general misunderstunding about the GA role.
Action: NC initiate a discussion about the GA structure as well as
about relations between different components of the DNSO. From October
16th, after elections to the ICANN Board, the NC will initiate the
call
for nominations for permanent GA Chair. To be elected in LA.
Action: NC initiate a discussion about concensus. There is a necessity
to have more understanding abount consensus. The Chair of GA should
not
interpret consensus like in Santiago meetings. The coordination
between
the NC and GA is needed.
* Schedule of Meetings in LA and technical arrangements
Resolved that the constituencies meetings on Monday will not be
webcast, but only recorded. Different considerations: cost ($US 8000),
time (afternoon in LA is in the middle of night in Europe),
practicability (it is almost impossible to have a conference call with
large aadience).
The NC is obligated by law to webcast, but have no money. There is a
reality shock, the DNSO and its institutions are likely to be
expensive. Impossible to have international organization,
teleconferences, secretariat working 15 hours/day, notes, and support
without appropriate budget. The raw estimation is $US 300,000.
Furthermore also constituencies need to estimate their budget. Some
constituencies would like to share facilities with the DNSO central
secretariat, some consider needing full time dedicated secretariat.
The NC resolved on September 30th to collect $US 35,000 within 30 days
after the LA meetings (7 constituencies, $US 5000 each).
Action: ICANN is not aware about relations with the DNSO Names
Council.
Two issues need to be discussed: fundings as well as decisions on
arrangements.
The NC has an obligation to webcast, it is a fact not an alternative,
and therefore the necessity to commit $US 8000.
* October 11-15, Election of ICANN Board Members
Proxy voting
Resolved that a proxy mechanism is needed.
Resolved that whereas the proxies issue need to be discussed, the
decision is needed for the vote.
Resolved that proxies given to somebody from outside the NC need to be
notified bye email to the Secretariat no later than Friday, October
8th, 18:00 CET. Mandatory: full name, email address and phone number
of
proxy.
Resolved that proxies given to other NC member may be done on short
notice (email) to the secretariat.
Preliminary vote
Resolved that the preliminary vote (each NC memebr casting up to 3
votes for different persons) will start on
Saturday, October 9th, 18:00 CET
and will end on
Sunday, October 10th, 18:00 CET.
The Secretariat will provide results of the preliminary vote shortly
after the close.
* The issue of meeting procedures
Berkman Center cooperation proposal. With participation of Jonathan
Zittrain
Jonathan Zittrain and his students will work on pro bone effort (no
cost, educational experience for Harward students) with the NC, trying
to formalise adequate procedures adapted for the DNSO needs.
Resolved that nobody from outside will chair the NC meetings, the
Berkman Center help is on procedures for the procedures and some
guidance. As such it is very welcome. The working methods of ICANN
Board meetings seems appropriate to the NC members.
* The DNSO Business Plan and Budget
It is urgent to solve liability and expenses issues.
The right approach would be to study what is needed and face the
problems. It will be the highest priority item for the first NC
telecon
after elections.
