RE: [council] FW: the topic of new gTLDs and the role of gNSO Council
Marilyn and all, Indeed, you are SO right - the thought of such a compilation emerged at a contact with Bruce on Monday, and here comes a first draft for your reading enjoyment, see attachment.

That shouldn't be too hard to do from the records of the minutes, board minutes, board resolutions. I think we have our own record of minutes as well that contributes, and we have the transcripts from meetings, where in the public forums, it will be apparent what was discussed, and then what action was taken. Such a history, in summary form, in chronological order, should provide a summary for us to start from. Given all else that faces us as a Council, and my "day job", I find myself challenged to focus on this research personally, and look forward to the work of the staff that I believe has been requested. Before I engage in interpretation on what "we" have done so far, that summary will be needed. Make sense to others? -----Original Message----- From: owner-council@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-council@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Marilyn Cade Sent: Wednesday, July 27, 2005 12:00 AM To: 'Bret Fausett'; council@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [council] FW: the topic of new gTLDs and the role of gNSO Council Bret, I am not so sure that we did answer those questions. I thought we did proof of concept TLDs, and then sponsored gTLDS. /both were limited in their role in an overall consideration, but contribute lessons learned. -----Original Message----- From: owner-council@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-council@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bret Fausett Sent: Tuesday, July 26, 2005 8:59 PM To: council@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [council] FW: the topic of new gTLDs and the role of gNSO Council My understanding is that the GNSO and the Board previously answered the question of whether we should have new gTLDs ("yes") and how they should be introduced ("in a measured and responsible manner"). So I would agree that insofar as those questions are concerned, we do no need to revisit the past. There are a number of areas, however, in which the GNSO could provide useful policy work. For instance, what escrow and data retention policy should new registries have to meet so that the damage to registrants of a registry failure can be minimized? But is that policy or implementation? I don't know that it matters much if we *want* to take it on. Perhaps we can use time on Thursday's call to list some of these things we'd like to see addressed. Bret Attachment:
