Folks,

Here are the issues that I would like to cover during our call this week regarding the interim report. I wish that we could have covered this off sooner, but we have had several unscheduled teleconference cancellations. I am unable to move forward with preparing the draft report until these issues are dealt with.

The ICANN bylaws are very specific regarding the contents of the report specifically it requires that the report includes;

"1. A clear statement of any Supermajority Vote position of the task force on the issue;

2. If a Supermajority Vote was not reached, a clear statement of all positions espoused by task force members submitted within the twenty-day timeline for submission of constituency reports. Each statement should clearly indicate (i) the reasons underlying the position and (ii) the constituency(ies) that held the position;

3. An analysis of how the issue would affect each constituency of the task force, including any financial impact on the constituency;

4. An analysis of the period of time that would likely be necessary to implement the policy; and

5. The advice of any outside advisors appointed to the task force by the Council, accompanied by a detailed statement of the advisors' (i) qualifications and relevant experience; and (ii) potential conflicts of interest."

To date, the constituency has not developed any position on the issue, had any substantive dialog concerning the issues nor have we received a reasonable number of constituency position statements. Our effort thus far has been purely procedural or focused on data gathering. It would be impossible to create any sort of an analysis at this point.

My question is - what should I be including in this draft report beyond a restatement of what was included in the interim report? Brian has suggested that I focus on best practices, but I have yet to receive an answer on what I should base the statement of best practices on.
