     mins)
     - options - task force, committee of the Council, full Council

     At the Board meeting in Amsterdam, the Board approved the Action
     Plan
     (see

http://www.icann.org/committees/ntepptf/new-gtld-action-plan-18oct02.htm
     ) regarding moving forward on new gTLDs.
     See http://www.icann.org/minutes/prelim-report-15dec02.htm.

     As part of that resolution the Board requested the GNSO
     " to provide a recommendation by such time as shall be mutually
     agreed by the President and the Chair of the GNSO Names Council on
     whether to structure the evolution of the generic top level
     namespace and, if so, how to do so."
     This was in response to part of the Action Plan (see

http://www.icann.org/committees/ntepptf/new-gtld-action-plan-18oct02.htm#III
)
     that addressed this subject.

     8. Appointment of two seats on the new ICANN Board (20 mins)

     The DNSO previously appointed 3 representatives to the old ICANN
     Board: Alejandro Pisanty (re-elected in September 2002)
     Amadeu Abril I Abril
     Jonathan Cohen

     As part of the new Transition articile of the new by-laws
     (http://www.icann.org/minutes/minutes-appb-15dec02.htm)
     Section 5(7) states:
     "Promptly after the adoption of this Transition Article, the
     Generic Names Supporting Organization shall, through the GNSO
     Council, make selections of Directors to fill Seats 13 and 14 on
     the New Board, with terms to conclude upon the commencement of the
     first regular terms specified for each of those Seats in Article
     VI, Section 8(1)(d) and (e) of the New Bylaws, and shall give the
     ICANN Secretary written notice of its selections."

     The new Board is likely to be in place for the March 2003 ICANN
     Board meeting, and we should select the two representatives well
     in advance of this date.

     9. Agenda topics for next meeting (20 Feb 2003)
     - approval of Board reports for WHOIS and Transfers
     - update of rules of procedure

     10. Any other business
