[council] Final revisd report of the Review task force


Names Council,
At the last NC meeting the Council had expressed overall support for the majority of the Review task force final report. The registry constituency and the registrars had expressed some concern about section 5 on consensus in that a proposed slight change to the by-laws may impact on registry or registrar legal agreements. I explained that such an impact had not been the intent of the TF and agreed as NC chair to seek clarifying wording acceptable to the Council. I have since been in contact with ICANN Counsel and he concurs that there could be a potential impact. 
 
Accordingly, I present a revised final draft report which has been modified as follows:
- the proposed change in the by-laws is deleted
- the relevance of consensus to registry or registrar agreements is made explicit
- a process with two options is outlined for the development of a consensus policy.
 
I hope this report will now meet with Council's approval and I submit it for approval at the forthcoming NC meeting December 13.
 
 
Philip Sheppard
NC Chair
