reported that following the May 6, 2004 meeting, Kurt <span class=SpellE>Pritz</span>
and Paul Verhoef had provided some clarification and that accordingly, the
minutes of the May 6 meeting had been simplified and <span class=GramE>revised
.</span> <br>
On the topic of GNSO Staff support, <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Paul
Verhoef</span></b> stated that in agreement with the GNSO Council there were 3
positions being published on overall policy development <span class=GramE>support
:</span><br>
1. GNSO Staff Manager's position, that should become a staff position (rather
than a consultant as is currently the case<span class=GramE>) <br>
2</span>. <span class=GramE>additional</span> support for the GNSO, partly
shared with the other supporting organizations<br>
3. <span class=GramE>a</span> policy analyst position, to follow the <span
class=SpellE>isues</span> in the <span class=SpellE>ccNSO</span> and the ASO.<br>
When the job descriptions are complete and as soon as the budget is approved
the successful candidates would be offered contracts.</span></font><span
lang=EN-GB style='mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><font size=3 face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:
Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>In summary, the current situation is:<br>
Paul Verhoef Vice President, Policy Development <span class=GramE>Support <br>

2</span>. <span class=GramE>Additional support mostly for the GNSO as well as
coordination between all supporting organizations.</span><br>
<br>
The descriptions for the two positions would be submitted to the GNSO Chair and
council members for a round of comments. Furthermore, Paul Verhoef informed the
Council that the exact roles of the positions would, among other things, depend
on the skills and experience of the recruited candidates. No salary range had
yet been discussed.</span></font><span lang=EN-GB style='mso-ansi-language:

<p><b><font size=3 face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB;font-weight:bold'>Paul Verhoef</span></font></b><font
face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>
commented that it was important for the Council to agree on the role of staff
in the GNSO policy development in practise as the staff often finds it
difficult to combine the Council's wish for staff to play a pro-active role in
the processes while on the other hand not be seen to determine policy.<br>
<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Bruce Tonkin</span></b> commented that it
would be useful to have role descriptions with guidelines and rules of
procedure for the task force chairs, task force members and ICANN staff as well
as understanding what ICANN means.<br>
<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Kurt <span class=SpellE>Pritz</span> </span></b>proposed
forming a small committee of Council and staff members to write such a
framework which could be reviewed and commented on by the whole Council once
the job descriptions were published<br>
<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Bruce Tonkin</span></b> reported that he had
spoken to Paul <span class=SpellE>Twomey</span> regarding interaction with
different staff roles, how to protect the staff and deal with conflicting views
of individual task force members and concluded that ultimately everyone was
responsible for reaching consensus. Given that conflicts are difficult to
resolve at the Board or the Council level they should ideally be resolved by
task force members during the task force process. <br>
<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Timelines and actions:</span></b><br>
<br>
1. End of June for the job descriptions to be <span class=GramE>complete <br>
2</span>. Week 21 - 25 June a teleconference between senior ICANN staff such as
Paul Verhoef, Kurt <span class=SpellE>Pritz</span>, Paul <span class=SpellE>Twomey</span>,
John Jeffrey and a small group of Council members that have actively chaired
various task forces and committees over the past few years within the DNSO Names
Council/GNSO Council. <br>
The aim would be to agree on a set of shared expectations for: <br>
- the types of tasks to be assigned to the ICANN <span class=GramE>staff <br>
-</span> the respective role of task force members and chairs<br>
- <span class=GramE>procedures</span> for allocating tasks to ICANN staff in an
environment where there are often several policy development processes
operating in parallel and hence the chance for contention in the use of
resources <br>
which could be used during interviews.</span></font><span lang=EN-GB

<span class=GramE>Topics arising from the minutes of May 6, 2004.</span></span></font></b><font
face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'><br>
<br>
1. Establishing contact with the <span class=SpellE>ccNSO</span> regarding an
International Domain Names (IDN) workshop. In the meantime ICANN has scheduled
a whole day workshop and there is a program committee so that if individual
council members wished to have topics included, they should contact Tina Dam or
Dan <span class=SpellE>Halloran</span> at ICANN or Bruce Tonkin.<br>
<br>
2. The GNSO Council members and the <span class=SpellE>ccNSO</span> would meet
and discuss the best way to liaise between the two groups. <b><span
style='font-weight:bold'><br>
Bruce Tonkin </span></b>proposed that at physical meetings there would be a
breakfast or lunch between the two groups and that as with the GAC and the
ALAC, one or two people could be appointed from the <span class=SpellE>ccNSO</span>
Council to attend GNSO Council meetings and likewise the GNSO Council could
appoint representatives to attend <span class=SpellE>ccNSO</span> meetings.<br>
Preliminary discussions have been proposed on Monday, 19 July at 5:00 PM in the
Grand Ballroom of the Shangri La Hotel in Kuala Lumpur.<br>
<br>
3. <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Christopher Wilkinson</span></b> reported
that the GAC and the GNSO would not be having a full bilateral session as
happened in Rome. <br>
<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Suzanne <span class=SpellE>Sene</span> </span></b>reported
that some time would be found for the members of the GAC GNSO working group and
interested GNSO Council members to discuss issues arising from possible <span
class=SpellE>Whois</span> recommendations.<br>
<b><span style='font-weight:bold'><br>
Item 3: Update on WHOIS task <span class=GramE>forces <br>
Receive</span> an update from the WHOIS task force chairs, Jeff Neuman, Jordyn
Buchanan, Brian Darville <br>
- status of public comment process<br>
- <span class=GramE>next</span> steps <br>
- review timetable for completing final reports<br>
</span></b><br>
<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Jordyn Buchanan</span></b> on behalf of all 3
task force chairs <span class=GramE>requested :</span><br>
First, that after the close of the public comment period the Task Forces <span
class=GramE>be</span> allowed to revisit their initial reports so that they may
be updated in response to public comment as well as additional feedback from
constituencies. <br>
Second, some areas of overlap between Task Forces 1 and <span class=GramE>2,</span>
have been identified and requests may be made of Council to approve procedures
designed to resolve any conflict between the two Task Forces' recommendations. Procedures
to move forward should still be established.<br>
<span class=GramE>Finally, depending on the level of response seen in the
public comment period, the option of extending the length of the public comment
period.</span><br>
<b><span style='font-weight:bold'><br>
Suzanne <span class=SpellE>Sene</span></span></b> reminded Council that the GAC
would not speak to a preliminary report and that it could only take positions
at GAC plenary sessions. Any available information from the task forces should
be submitted to the GNSO GAC working group which will be meeting on Saturday 17
July in Kuala Lumpur.</span></font><span lang=EN-GB style='mso-ansi-language:

public comment process. <br>
<br>
<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Bruce Tonkin</span></b> reminded all task
force members that in addition to their advocacy role on behalf of their
constituencies, they were also responsible for working cooperatively with other
task force members to attempt to reach an ideal consensus position on the
policy. Consensus may be defined as a 2/3 minimum vote, but the ideal would be
as close to 100% as possible for full community support. <br>
Task forces 1 and 2 should also attempt to coordinate their work so that their
recommendations are consistent. <br>
Task forces should identify where further implementation analysis is necessary
for some recommendations before they can be finally voted on by Council </span></font><span

style='font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'> that ICANN staff Manager <span
class=GramE>draw</span> up an Issues report for the Kuala Lumpur GNSO Council
meeting.<br>
<b><span style='font-weight:bold'><br>
Paul Verhoef</span></b> reported from the ICANN staff perspective that a
strategy had to be developed by September 30 and commence implementation of the
strategy by December 31, 2004. Currently expert advice was being sought
regarding economic, competition, trademark, <span class=GramE>intellectual</span>
property issues. Several organizations such as: the Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development (OECD) (which has promised to try and declassify
their document before the Kuala Lumpur meeting), the World Intellectual
Property Organization (WIPO) and the Security and Stability Advisory Committee
(<span class=SpellE>ssac</span>) were expected to provide expert advice by
September 30, 2004. It was expected that the strategy, based on the staffs'
initial assessment of the expert advice as to which questions should be asked
and the process of answering them, including the GNSO policy development
process, would be in place by December 30, 2004. It was not clear what
questions ICANN should be asking themselves, nor was it clear how it could be
determined exactly what level of competition was useful or not.<br>
<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Marilyn <span class=SpellE>Cade</span></span></b>
expressed concern about timeframes, deadlines, that Council seemed to be too
far away from the process and that a policy development process should evolve
in a timely manner.<br>
<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Paul Verhoef</span></b> was of the opinion
that at the time of drafting the MOU the assumption was that there would be new
<span class=SpellE>gTLDs</span> in the traditional sense which was not
necessarily a given any more in view of different possibilities of <span
class=SpellE>gTLDs</span> such as traditional <span class=SpellE>gTLD's</span>,
<span class=SpellE>sTLD's</span>, <span class=SpellE>IDN's</span>, etc and
possibly the predictable strategy should be interpreted in a slightly wider
sense than it was originally foreseen. <br>
The answer to <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Bruce Tonkin's</span></b>
enquiry whether this would be subject to dialogue between ICANN and the
Department of Commerce (DOC) was that there would have to be agreement on the
part of DOC as the deadlines and the mandate are also part of the <span
class=SpellE>MoU</span>.<br>
<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Kurt <span class=SpellE>Pritz</span></span></b>
presented the scenario where, as a result of studies, the strategy that would
be adopted, or recognized might be that, part of new TLD strategy would be the
implementation of full International Domain Names (IDN). That implementation
would require policy questions to be answered by the GNSO, technical questions
to be answered by other supporting committees so that implementation would have
to figure out policy questions.<br>
The Kuala Lumpur IDN workshop agenda will be published on the ICANN website.</span></font><span
