Youn Jung Park was calling the NC teleconference from Ghana, and had
difficulties to get an US phone number starting with "8xx" (not toll free).
It seems that "8xx" numbers are simply filtered by some telcos.
Youn Jung Park was able to join the teleconference thanks to the help
of Ben Edelman, providing a bridge relay.
Chair Caroline Chicoine (IPC)
Quorum present
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Election of GA Chair for year 2000
It was resolved that the election for the GA Chair and the GA Alternate
Chair will be done by e-mail, with sequential voting, starting
tomorrow, during two days Dec 16th and Dec 17th.
2. Election of NC Chair
It was felt that the current system with the NC Chair rotating,
changing between constituencies each 6 month approx. shall be
maintained. Being a Chair is a working position, time consuming,
neutral and responsible to all constituencies, not honorous. Whereas
some NC members already demonstrated they are indeed able to very well
manage meetings, some others are probably as talented, and shall be
encouraged. It is foreseen to have an Alternate NC Chair as well. More
discussion on that subject will be by e-mail.
3. Liaison Co-Chairs
o Liaison Co-Chair for WG B
Philip Sheppard and Kathryn Kleiman volunteered for that position.
A vote by e-mail may be helpfull to choose between the two
persons.
o Liaison Co-Chair for WG C
The initial WG C Liaison Co-Chair, Javier Sola, is no longer a
member of the NC. The WG C needs guidence on the report to the NC.
A call for candidates, then if necessary a vote by e-mail.
4. Discussion of Budget/Business Plan
Report from Ken Stubbs
Some information was gathered from the Berkman Center
(Ben Edelman), some from the DNSO Secretariat (Elisabeth
Porteneuve).
The current scheme (fees for ICANN, fees for the DNSO,
fees for constituencies) makes a lot of layers..
The information is needed on legal interpretation on how
the funding should be colleted.
In the initial phase the budget should be reviewed
quarterly.
The communication to members constituencies is an
important aspect.
Andrew McLaughlin informed that according to the Bylaws
the ICANN Board has to approve expenditures and deposit
of the DNSO.
Report from Constituencies on the request to pay US $5000 for 1999
It seems that the majority of constituencies are able to
collect money, provided that invoices are sent.
Andrew McLaughlin informed that the NC debt with regards
to the meeting rooms in 1999 may be cleaned up by ICANN
budget, but the webcasting cost is to be paied to the
Berkman Center.
The webcasting from Africa will be probably more costly
than formers, but it is essential to have it done, and
the NC accepts this expense.
It is expected that Ken will receive missing information
from all interested and the draft budget will be
presented on January 15th.
5. Discussion regarding GA Mailing lists
Report from Elisabeth Porteneuve regarding her meeting with Louis
Touton and Andrew McLaughlin, see
http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/council/Arc03/msg00221.html
In the debate about alternate possibilities to current mailing lists
Don Telage described a web based sofisticated software, with security
futures, and different acces offered to different groups of
participants.
Kathryn Kleiman pointed out that hight quality web-based software imply
always volume, and most ressources, which subsequently increases a gap
between the rich and the poor people access to the Internet. Kathy
suggested that more substance on one list, less noise, and the elected
GA Chair and Alternate Chair will hopefully bring some authority to the
GA-ga list.
Patricio Poblete observed that tools provide a good fonctionnality, but
remain still vulnerable if some decide to sabotage everything.
Andrew McLaughlin and Louis Touton suggested setting up an agenda to
the DNSO as a whole: WG's, GA, NC, everybody, and organizing a work and
discussion. The NC should take a leadership in structuring a work and
not leave the GA-ga abandonned to the opposition.
Dennis Jennings made a similar analysis, without a work to do the GA-ga
became dominated by crazies.
It was pointed out that the membership list should be controlled by the
NC. Richard Lindsay volounteered to lead the task force on the list
issues.
