[council] Verisign ICANN agreement - DNSO input

[Philip Sheppard <philip.sheppard@europe.com>]

Further to the ICANN Board's request for DNSO input on the substantive
issues of the proposed revision to the Verisign ICANN agreement the
following timetable will apply:

1. Constituency and GA input
All constituencies and the GA are requested to discuss the issues and send a
short report via their NC reps to the council list latest 12 noon (your
local time) SUNDAY 25 MARCH 2001.

Please keep reports short, listed in note form and focused on the
desirability of the status quo (old agreement) and the new agreement. What
are the pros and cons ? Which agreement do you prefer?

(If you are able to cooperate with other constituencies and make a joint
position - even better.)

2. DNSO and NC consolidation
I will then review these reports for common ground and produce a proposed
DNSO statement. It will have an umbrella DNSO statement where there is
common ground and list the Constituency positions thereafter.

There will be a special NC teleconference at 15:00 Paris time Wednesday 28
March at which the NC and GA chair will agree to a statement based on the
consolidated document.

That statement will be forwarded to the ICANN Board to meet their deadline
of 31 March 2001.

Philip Sheppard
NC Chair
