The fact that the gNSO review has been finalized, a briefing of the Council
on the ?proposed approach? is of concern. This was supposed to be a joint
effort by the Board and the Council and we are sadly without "visibility"
into the process, or the outline, or the proposal. Or the funding amount,
which I have asked for twice, on Council calls. 

 

This is something that I propose that Council bring up with the
President/CEO and Senior staff. I had noted it on the Board agenda, but
never envisioned that there would be an approval, without discussion with
the Council. 

No doubt that is planned, but Senior Staff are seeking still to schedule a
discussion with Council. 

 

We can help them by initiating this discussion. Let?s spend five minutes on
agenda bashing on our upcoming Council meeting on Friday.

Subject: [council] ICANN Board Call

 

Dear Council Members:

 

The ICANN Board just concluded its teleconference today and took the

following actions.

 

(1) Approval of São Paulo, Brazil as the venue for the 2006 ICANN annual

meeting the first week in December; and

 

(2) Approved funds to pay the evaluators for their work in connection

with the review of the GNSO;

 

Although there was a discussion regarding the VeriSign settlement

negotiation, there was no action taking. There is a scheduled call for

next week 28-Feb-2006. Although the Chair and secretariat have not yet

finalized the agenda for that call it is most likely to involve further

VeriSign discussions as well as those items which have not yet been

completed from today's call. As always, I will try to keep the council

informed of any developments.

 

Best regards,

 

Michael D. Palage
