Approval of agenda:

http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/20020829.NCteleconf-agenda.html

The agenda was approved and an additional item was proposed by Marilyn Cade:
Deletes and the existing Transfer Task Force.

AOB: Deletes and transfer Task Force

Marilyn Cade reported that the Task Force had a series of meetings planned
where guests made presentations to the Task Force members, some calls were
open and all calls were recorded and minuted.
There is some discussion on whether then Task Force should conclude the work
on deletions.
Some believe that as there is expertise in the Task Force and much of the
achievable workable transfer policy will depend on Standard deletions it
should be a second priority work item.
While others believe that deletions were acknowledged as an appropriate
referral to the Task Force by the Board, and that the Names Council
forwarded this work to the Transfer Task Force, yet others disagree that
this TF should do any work on deletions, and strongly advocate that the TF
advise the NC that they are unable to work on the issue. When considering
whether to create a new task force, the names council members should
consider whether their constituencies have the resources to contribute to
the task force.
Option I:
Complete Transfers/ complete Deletions on different tracks as described
below. Add in a technical working aspect to the current TF on deletions.
Option 2: Return the deletions issue to the Names Council and recommend that
the Names Council establish a different Task Force.

Ken Stubbs said that the meeting was not in a position to deal with the
delete issue as it has not been put up as a proper agenda item.
Bruce Tonkin referred to the new procedure proposed to create an issue
report to the Names Council and let the Council decide whether it will deal
with it, and if so whether to deal with the issue at the Names council level
or use a task force.

Philip Sheppard proposed that the Names Council Chairman and Marilyn Cade
make a short proposal around the issue to discuss during the September 12,
Names Council meeting.

Item I. 1. Confirming vote for NC chair for term of office starting 1
September 2002 for six months.
One nomination of Bruce Tonkin, nominated by Philip Sheppard, seconded by
Ken Stubbs.

An oral vote was recorded: 18 supported the nomination, 2 absent without
proxy

Decision 1: Bruce Tonkin is the Names Council Chair for 6 months office
starting 1 September

The names council unanimously passed a vote of thanks for Philip Sheppard.

Bruce Tonkin expressed his thanks to Philip Sheppard for his outstanding
work and thanked the council members for their confidence in him.

Ken Stubbs expressed his thanks for the superb job done by Philip at the
helm of the Names Council, and for all the time that he has devoted to the
work, and also thanked Glen de Saint Géry for her secretariat work during
Philip's term.
Elisabeth Porteneuve thanked Philip Sheppard for his extraordinary work.
Marilyn Cade shared the comments of the council members about Philip as
Chair.

Philip Sheppard thanked the council members for their kind words and said
that it had been rewarding and fun to work together and make the Names
Council a better place.

Ken Stubbs moved to adjourn the meeting at 15:30 Paris time 13:30 UTC
