[nc-str] Final terms of reference
Peter, Marilyn thank you for your comments on the
proposed terms of reference (TOR). I think these add useful
clarity and I suggest as chair that the following revised TOR are
adopted.
I have asked via liaison 7 for Constituencies to forward their
position papers on the At-large proposals - and propose we start work on the
basis of the ALSC November report, taking into account these Constituency
positions. I will endeavour to post an preliminary document shortly and welcome
any other input in the meantime.

Expanded terms of reference for the NC TF on
structure
The terms below provide detail to the outline TOR previously
circulated to the task force.
Name NC task force on Structure
Composition one representative from each constituency and one from the GA, chaired by the chair of the NC. Members: Chair Philip IP Mark Bohannon, BC Marilyn Cade, gTLDs David Johnson, ccTLDs Peter Dengate-Thrush, Registrars Ken Stubbs, Non-Commercials Raul Echeberria, ISP Tony Holmes, GA Dave Farrar Terms of reference
To produce a timely impact assessment on a) the efficacy of policy making within the DNSO, and
b) the efficacy of ICANN decision making
as a result of the proposals from the at-large study
committee, the desire of the ccTLDs to form their own supporting organisation
and other related proposals and;
To produce a recommendation to the Names Council based on this
assessment.
To achieve this the task force should briefly evaluate proposals for
re-structuring against the following criteria:
1. the efficacy of policy making within the DNSO - degree of formal interaction between stakeholders - ratio of unique issues of a new SO outside the competence of DNSO versus issues within competence of DNSO - mechanisms for cross-SO communication
- effect on the DNSO consensus process.
2. the efficacy of ICANN decision making
- the ability of each proposal to generate valid consensus-based policy making - possibility of the Board receiving contradictory advice from its SOs and the impact on resolution mechanisms - likely financial and representational robustness of any SO. Timeframe: The task force will consider proposals made to the Board by the ALSC or DNSO constituencies before 31 January 2002. Agreement on terms of reference – 28 November
Development of principles and criteria – 10 December
Data gathering/evaluation - December/January Initial report 31 January 2002 Interim ICANN Ghana March 2002 Final TBD
