points of agreement and dissension, with 8 annexes
The WG-B and WG-C are not on the same schedule. Whereas WG-C consensus report
has been published for public comments, WG-B formal report is just arriving.
The Names Council felt it was necessary to to consider the WG-C consensus
report and at the same time give more time to the WG-B.
Two questions were asked to the Names Council, and the straw poll taken:
1. Did the Names Council believe it was the consensus on the opening
of new gTLDs ?
2. Did the Names Council believe it was the consensus that the initial
number for roll out should be 6 to 10 new gTLDs ?
The vote tally on the first item was 13 YES, 3 ABSTAIN, 2 ABSENT. Passed.
The vote tally on the second item was 5 YES, 9 NO, 2 ABSTAIN, 2 ABSENT. Failed.
The details of votes follow:
Question1 Question2
Dennis Jennings ccTLD absent absent
Patricio Poblete ccTLD yes abstain
Philip Sheppard Business yes no
Masanobu Katoh Business yes abstain
Theresa Swinehart Business yes no
Hirofumi Hotta ISPCP yes yes

Some members of the Names Council felt that whereas the role of the WGs is to
gather public opinions and thoughts, the NC members should discuss among
themselves, then combine both, and later deliver to the Board. The role of the
NC is to ensure they represent the NC stakeholders, and provide recommendations
based on it. Sometimes Working Groups are dominated by large talkers, not
representing point of view of the Constituencies.
The draft of Statement to the ICANN Board, as amended by the Names Council,
was moved as a motion by Theresa Swinehart, and seconded by Paul Kane.
The Statement was approved by an unanimous vote (16 YES, 2 absents
Dennis Jennings and Tony Harris).
The Statement on the new gTLDs was published immediately, and is archived
on the DNSO website:
http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/20000419.NCgtlds-statement.html
The NC resolved to open three weeks call for public comments on the WG-B formal
report: http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/20000419.NCwgb-comments.html.
C. The NC noted the difficulties to accomodate Constituencies and Working
Groups meetings in Yokohama, where the ICANN meetings are scheduled in addition
to the INET'2000 conference, with the specific constraints on the Board
schedule.
D. The next NC teleconferences will be held on May 17th, 2000
The issue of Independent Review Nominating Committee is postponed tothe next
teleconference.
