[registrars] Followup Re: Transfers TF: Request for Participants in Open Telecon

["Ross Wm. Rader" <ross@tucows.com>]

As I mentioned late last week, the RC has five spots on the upcoming TF
telecon to participate in a discussion w/ Louis Touton concerning the
definition of Apparent Authority. Because this telecon is open to more than
the TF reps, the number of ports per constituency is limited.

I have received a number of indications of interest from various registrars
and will assign them, as indicated, on a first come, first serve basis with
a qualifications. The qualifications were required in order to ensure that a
reasonable cross-section of registrars were represented on the call.

These assignments are:

- 1 spot made available to a member of the ExComm/NC - Assigned to Joker.com
- 1 spot made available to a registrar outside of the top ten - Assigned to
Markmonitor
- 1 spot made available to a registrar with a "minority view" (one not
consistent with the constituency consensus as indicated by our previous
ballot.) - Assigned to VRSN
- 2 spots assigned first come, first serve - Assigned to RCOM & Bulkregister

If more spots become available, they will be assigned, in order, to the
following registrars:

NameScout
eNom
DotEarth
IARegistry

If a member of the ExComm would like to participate, please let me know so
that I can make arrangements. It will require one of Bulkregister or
Register.com to give up one of their spots. I've assigned the ExComm spot to
Joker because of a lack of geographic diversity with the other participants.
Given the unique data retention and privacy requirements of areas outside of
North America, I believe that this is a valuable perspective that should be
represented on the call.

If there are any questions or concerns, please drop me a note. If there are
no substantive objections, I will forward the attending list to the Transfer
TF and call details to the various participants later today.

For those of you that are unable to participate in the live call but wish to
have questions answered by Louis or the task force, please ensure that you
forward me these questions no later than COB today as per the instructions
in my last email. For those of you that are able to participate in the call,
please also forward me any questions that you may have for Louis or the task
force as the teleconference chair will be giving priority to "pre-questions"
during the call in order that we can ensure that everything proceeds
efficiently with such a large number present. **Note that I have not
received any questions from any registrars at this point.** Details
concerning the "rules of order" can also be found in my last message which
can be found in the mailing list archive here -
http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/registrars/Arc01/msg01951.html

As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a line or
give me a call.

Thanks,
