Re: [discuss] DNSO Glitches and process: A report from the DNSO front.
Mark,
>To facilitate this process, could you clarify a few points regarding
>this group (which is Working Group D, if I'm not mistaken):
It is not exactly Working Group D, for which there is not yet a contact
point. Procedures for Working Groups have been separated into a different
committee (F) that will deal only with that.
>1) Who is currently heading this WG, if anyone,
Nobody, officially. It was proposed by Bill Semish, I seem to remember.
>2) Who should be contacted if one wishes to join this WG
It was proposed as a committee of the pNC, not a working group. Bill Semish
should be the contact point, I guess. He is in this list, I believe (he is
in copy, anyway). If I am wrong, say so, Bill.
>3) When and via what media the first(?) meeting of this WG will occur
No idea. There is a tendency to work on e-mail, rather than meetings.
>4) The exact date by which this WG must have completed its report
Three week after the June 25th meeting.

Following the type of process that we have in the calendar for other
issues, it should be posted by comment by the GA for a reasonable period of
time, then the pNC should take the report and the comments from the GA and
prepare a final document.

Actually, WG D should be the one to do this, a different committee than the
one we have been talking about. I assume that nominations will be opened.
Anybody in the GA can nominate anybody they want, I can not see any reason
for blocking a nomination.
>7) Could you confirm that the GA will be fully constituted by the time

The GA is already fully constituted. Our discussion is part of it.

Personally, I would like to see Kent's idea of electing individual users
from the GA studied further . My concern would be capture, how to avoid
multiple voting, users that do not exist, etc. I don't know if the issues
can be solved in a practical way.. Again, this is strictly a personal
opinion. I do not think that the pNC should say anything about it, as it is
not our job.
Another issue that I am very concerned with is finances. How are we going
to raise the money to pay for the secretariat, webcasting, teleconferences,
meetings, etc... if we need (as an example, I don't know how much it will
cost) US $50,000 to 100,000, how are we going to raise it ? Should each
member of the GA pay a part of it? (I am not sure that we now have 200
members, this would mean up to US$500 per person). Is this too much? What
do we do otherwise?
