[ga] Re: Note from the Secretariat
The DNSO Secretariat Search Committee reports:
http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/council/Arc05/doc00013.doc
PROGRESS:
1. The RFP for providers of DNSO Secretariat services (currently provided by
Elisabeth/AFNIC) has now closed.
2. Eight responses have been received and are currently being evaluated by
Ian Peter and Associates.
3. The evaluation and recommendations of Ian Peter and Associates will be
forwarded to members of the Search Committee early next week (no later than
Tue, 2 Jul).
4. The Search Committee is scheduled to meet on Thu next week (5 Jul) to
consider the report of Ian Peter and Associates and determine its
recommendation(s) for appointment.
5. The recommendation of the Search Committee will be submitted to the NC
Budget Committee, which, in its turn, will submit a recommendation for
appointment to the NC.
6. The appointee will be offered a consultancy contract and it is expected
that a standard form contract will be used (with deliverables included in the
contract schedule). ICANN, acting on behalf of the NC, will be the contract
signatory.
CONTRACT
The Search Committee has sought ICANN guidance and assistance on the most
appropriate contractual arrangements and a copy of the standards consultancy
contract used by ICANN. However, no response from ICANN has so far been
received and follow up on this issue is required.
-----------------------------------
More fact-finding... Perhaps the Search Committee can advise how soon we can
expect to have a new Secretariat contract in place, and perhaps they can
advise whether the new contract contains sufficient funds to allow the
General Assembly to conduct necessary voting as required.

Subject: [ga] Note from the DNSO Secretariat
Dear members, this note has just been sent by our DNSO Secretariat... your
comments would be appreciated.
GA Chair and Alternate,
I am affraid that the Secretariat will have serious difficulties
to follow the current rythme of votes requested by the GA.
On 25 July ends the election to the Udrp TF. The GA just ended
the election to the Review TF (12 July). Now the highest priority
for the Secretariat is the election of ICANN Board Director
- it will last more than 6 weeks.
Each vote is several hours of work of preparation, then of supervision
and results calculation, it must be planified in advance and coordinated.
The elections are especially resources consuming.
I perfectly understand that the GA may have its own needs -
the Secretariat would be delighted to provide voting services,
but human resources are limited, alas.
Additionaly we are in the middle of summer vacation now.
DNSO Secretariat
