Ph. Sheppard chaired the NC meeting.

  1. Agenda Items 2, 3 and 4:
     Selection from previous ICANN agenda, issues of DNSO relevance,
     Round table on these issues
     Selection of issues/ rapporteurs to Board next day

     These items were dealt with together.

     gTLDs: Registries
     http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/icann/mdr2001/archive/pres/rodin.html

     A blue print draft drawn up by a Task Force is now available on
     Security Issues - Registry failure.
     Best Practices on security and reliablity issues were consisdered.
     There will be a report back in the near future.
     Rita Rodin will report back to the board. 5 to 10 minutes.

     gTLDs Registrars

     The Registrars reviewed escrow and data recovery and identified
     certain problems.
     Important issues were:
     - the ability to maintain user capacity in case of catastrophy
     - the ability to make sure the user was not hurt by lack of
     service
     - service contracts
     There will be a report in late January or February 2002.
     Mike Palage will report to the Board. 5 to 10 minutes.

     ccTLDs
     http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/icann/mdr2001/archive/pres/cctld.html

     Three days of meetings were held, including sessions specifically
     about security.
     Three key areas were defined:
     - Existing process of getting IANA database updated and the
     necessity of 24x7 live support.
     - Best Practice documentation on Security
     -Shared ccTLD back-up, as well as funding.
     Peter de Blanc will report to the Board. 5 to 10 minutes

     Business, IP and ISP constituencies (joint report)
     http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/icann/mdr2001/archive/pres/sheppard.html

     ISPs have different views about best practices.
     Philip Sheppard will make a joint report back to the Board
     briefly.

     In the French speaking group led by Elisabeth Porteneuve, key
     issues were infrastructure, redundancy and connectivity.



     The NCDNH identified the following key issues:

     - A group that represents expertise that could be drawn upon by
     ICANN in non-propriety matters.
     - Focus on civil liberty implications and technical matters.
     - Concise text archives are needed to assist developing countries
     and non-English speakers understand.
     Milton Mueller will report back to the Board.

     Overlap from Agenda Monday 12 November 2001
     Agenda Item 6: Adoption of final report from the Review Task
     Force:
     http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/20011010.NCreview-report.html

     P. Sheppard reported that the drafting meeting held to resolve
     minor text differences revealed some more fundamental issues. The
     Review Task Force will review this issue and report back to the
     December meeting.

     Agenda Item 9:
     WhoIs:
     Marilyn Cade reported that 3000 responses have been received, 14
     questions with narrative replies, and all members of the Task
     Force have read the answers in a first cut.
     It is important to remember that this is an anecdotal survey of a
     self selected group of how people who use WhoIs react and not a
     statistical survey.
     A written preface to the survey will be done to explain this.
     It does not deal with new gTLDs
     The data will be publically available.
     A report will be out by the Ghana meeting.

     UDRP:
     http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/20011107.UDRP-Review-Questionnaire.html

     The UDRP Questionnaire is posted on the DNSO website and the
     deadline for comments is 17th December 2001.
     The NC agreed on the need to encourage a broad set of responses.

     Structure task force:
     The Chair proposed the NC make a short motion in support of the
     ALSC report giving notice that the NC or the constituencies will
     be commenting on detail later and laying down a marker for further
     DNSO involvement.

     Motion:

     Proposed by Philip Sheppard and seconded by Antonio Harris:

     Whereas the At-Large Study Committee (ALSC) has issued its report
     dated November 5, 2001,

     Whereas discussion on specific proposals within this report are
     now happening within DNSO Constituencies,

     Whereas the Names Council has held initial discussions at two
     meetings,

     The Names Council recommends that the ICANN Board look favourably
     at the broad principles outlined in the report and that the Board
     endorses the ALSC's proposal to extend the life of the committee
     until March 2002 in order to allow the ALSC to work with the DNSO
     and other parties towards implementation mechanisms.

     Decision D1: Motion adopted and passed unanamously.

     Ken Stubbs left the meeting at 17.10 and gave his proxies to Roger
     Cochetti.

     ICANN TLD's:
     http://www.icann.org/committees/ntepptf

     YJ Park reported on the Board committee set up to propose
     evaluation criteria for new TLDs.
     Conclusions to date are:
     - debate on the kind of criteria
     - different timeline for different TLDs
     - parallel evaluation tracts for different TLDs
     - specification of the multilingual aspect
     An interim report has been published for public comments, the
     period closing on 17 December 2001.
     A final report will be published and presented at the Ghana
     meetings.

     AOB:

     Roger Cochetti moved a motion seconded by Peter de Blanc

     That authorisation be be given for the payment of $30 000 to AFNIC
     being an agreed charge of $5000 per month from April to September
     2001 and moves that council approves this payment.

     Decision D2:

     Motion adopted by all but one. Elisabeth Porteneuve abstained.

     The meeting adjourned at 18.00 Los Angeles time.
