o - vote on following resolution regarding payment to AFNIC:
Recognizing that during 2000, AFNIC provided services to the DNSO,
mainly consisting of hosting and operating the DNSO Website,
without any agreement or contract with the DNSO to do so
Recognizing that in 2001, the DNSO Council, on advice from its
Budget Committee, agreed to make a payment to AFNIC for these
services of $60,000 pending the resolution of three administrative
matters Recognizing that two of these administrative matters were
resolved but the third, which provided for the transfer of
ownership rights over any "software developed by AFNIC for the
DNSO during 2000" from AFNIC to the DNSO, became the subject of a
dispute between ICANN management, acting as an agent for the DNSO,
and AFNIC.
Recognizing that this dispute has delayed the payment of the
budgeted $60,000 to AFNIC since 2001 and that the software in
question is no longer used by the GNSO.
The GNSO Council decides to immediately release the above-noted
$60,000 in funds to AFNIC for the full settlement of payment for
services provided by AFNIC to the DNSO during 2000.
