2. Summary of last meetings

3. Issues arising from the Names Council meeting on 29 October 2002

   3.1 Briefing by Louis Touton on implementation of policies (30 mins).

   For background see: http://www.icann.org/legal/briefing-on-implementation-20oct02.htm

   Questions of clarification include the difference between "policy" and "administrative detail", and the level of guidance ICANN staff require to implement a "policy" developed via consensus. For example should a policy state that "there should be a maximum period for a particular action", or should the policy state "the maximum period for an action is 3 days". Note the current registry contracts have many examples of specific administrative detail.
