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.ADDED TO THE MINUTES:
Milton Mueller of the NCDNHC asked that the survey data be made available to the public prior to the Task Force report. 'Open sourcing' the data would allow academics and other researchers to contribute automated content analysis and other techniques to the interpret ation of the data
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.
