[council] upcoming teleconference thursday september 21
after watching the opening ceremonies of the games in sydney,
let me say
G'DAY FELLOW MEMBERS.....
as you are all aware, we have a scheduled teleconference set
up for september 21st .
i have had very little input from the names council
members regarding prosp[ective agenda items and considering the fact that we
have just come off summer holidays and their usual distractions. i will pose a
question to all of you..
would it not be more effective to re-schedule the 21st
teleconference to the 28th at 08:30 usa eastern time (this time provides
for somewhat practical hours for all attendees) ?
this would give us an opportunity to review the reports of the
budget committee and , hopefully a rough draft of proposed DNSO review committee
methodology. it would also give us more time for reflection and the opportunity
to provide more constructive suggestions to the members of that committee as
well.
we also have the task of looking more closely at how to more
effectively involve the individual internet users in the policy
formation process. their have been suggestions that a working group be formed in
this area but, frankly, to this point , i have heard very little from the other
council members, (beside YJ), on exactly how to deal with this process more
effectively.
it is primarily for these reasons that i am suggesting that we
put off the teleconference for 1 week and re-schedule the conference to
september 28th.
i really need your input on this request and will assume that
if i do not hear any significant "human cry" against this suggestion that
you are comfortable with same.
here are some thoughts for agenda items for the proposed
teleconference:
1. current financial status
2. plans for november icann meeting (rooms, webcast, finances
etc)
3. budget committee report
4. intake committee report
5. discussion on DNSO review methodology
6. potential future individual constituancy
involvment
i have had no other suggestions for agenda items from anyone..
any thoughts here ?
please get back to me in the next day or two (i assume most of
you review your mail over the weekends)
thanks and looking for your input
best wishes
ken
