NC members,
As agreed last night this is the message I propose to
send on behalf of the NC to WG review. This is consistent with NC decision D2
of 8 February 2001.
(I note since the NC meeting YJ Park has posted a personal
commentary and an older version of this to the WG review anyway. This is
regrettable, it makes for poor communication to the working group. It also
seems to be contrary to the spirit of collegiate agreement we seek to achieve
within the NC.)
So please let me have comments on this message within 24
hours. I would like to send this to WG review at 10.00 am Paris time
Wednesday 28 February.
Philip.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR WORKING GROUP REVIEW
Future timetable for the
groups input
Status
1. The DNSO comment period on the draft DNSO
Review Report v. 2.0a ended
February 11th.
Next steps
2. Comments
submitted from WG Review and others has been incorporated as
appropriate by
the chair of the Names Council Review Task Force (NCRTF) into
a draft
version 3. NCRTF comprises one representative from each of the
seven
NC constituencies. Version 3 has been validated by remaining members
of the
NCRTF.
3. DNSO Review Report version 3 was received 18 February by the
ICANN Board. This is in preparation for the Board's meeting in March in
Melbourne and to allow full time for an ICANN public comment period.
4.
As was mandated, the task of the Names Council Review Task Force,
including
a DNSO public comment period, is now complete.
5. In order to ensure
coherent input to the ICANN Board, all further
comments from WG Review
should be directed to the ICANN public comment
website, when the ICANN
public comment period begins.
6. At the closure of the ICANN public
comment period the task of WG Review
will be
complete.
Implementation
7. The Names Council will be reviewing both
the input from the final WG D
report and from the Review process to develop
a new process to implement the
recommendations of the Review process. Full
participation in this
implementation phase is envisaged. It is understood
that the structure of
participation will be an improvement on the present
structure of DNSO
working groups!
Kind regards,
Theresa
Swinehart, Chair, DNSO Review Task Force
Philip Sheppard, NC
Chair
