[council] Action Items from GNSO Council meeting 25 September 2008

Fri Sep 26 15:33:17 CEST 2008

Dear Robin and all,

I read the report on the GNSO improvements implementation plan and the proposals that it seeks to put forward. I would like to put myself forward for the GNSO policy process steering committee (PPSC) which is linked to my research on new forms of policy making and I am sure that ICANN will provide me with a lot of material to work on. I am still trying to get my head around all the issues involved (as a relatively new member of NCUC) but I am sure that it will not be rocket science. 

Thanks 

Konstantinos

NCUC:

We've got a full list of action items for the constituency to consider in the coming weeks.  Below is a summary from Glen with links to relevant reports.

There are three reports for us to consider and comment on, including a very important GNSO Improvements Implementation Plan, which is expected for a vote on 16 October.  And we need 2 volunteers for steering committees to work on implementation.

Please consider the WHOIS Hypothesis Study Group Report as there will be a vote on 16 October, which if any studies are to be pursued.

We also need any comments on the Geographic Regions Report by 16 October when the GNSO Comments are expected to be finalized.  

We need volunteers for a drafting team on GNSO travel policy. 

Please send any comments or expressions of interest to volunteer for these assignments to this list.

Thanks!

Robin

right away, expedite discussions in their constituencies, and be prepared to vote on a motion at the GNSO Council meeting on 16 October 2008.

In addition constituencies should be starting the process of selecting one representative each for the two steering committees so that the first Steering Committee meetings can be held in Cairo.

3. Constituencies should call for volunteers for a drafting team to develop a proposal for consideration by the Council for ICANN subsidization of GNSO travel expenses. Volunteer's names should be sent to the Council mailing list. Olga Cavalli and Zahid Jamil were the first two volunteers at the meeting.

4. Councilors should forward the WHOIS Hypotheses Study Group report to their respective constituencies ASAP for discussion and comment as applicable in preparation for beginning the process at the Council meeting on 16 October 2008 of deciding which, if any studies should be pursued further.
