Re: [council] Additional Melbourne Meeting Topic: ProposedRevisions to Agreements with VeriSign

["Milton Mueller" <Mueller@syr.edu>]

Apropos of the earlier exchange between Roberts and Fausett: it looks to me from Touton statement below that even though the Board will not make a decision in Melbourne, the Board WILL make a decision a few weeks after Melbourne. Thus, the Names Council and the public have only until Melbourne to provide the Board with "comments and recommendations". 

I think Bret Fausett raised a significant point. All of these items should be deferrred to the Stockholm meeting otherwise there simply will not be an opportunity for constituencies to respond in an intelligible way.

The proposed revision will be discussed at the 12 March 2001 Public Forum in Melbourne.  The Board expects to consider the matter at Melbourne, but to take action on this topic in the weeks after the 
Melbourne meeting. In connection with the Board's consideration of this revision, the Domain Name Supporting Organiation is requested to provide any comments and recommendations it chooses to offer.
