[alac] notes on today's meeting

[John L <johnl@xxxxxxxx>]

---------------------------------------
== Short term operational plan ==

-- Pick vice chairs by the 15th, vote by the 22nd if need be

-- Pick five members for the post-apocalypse ICANN

-- Plan activities from now to Lisbon meeting

Bret, on GNSO:

-- WHOIS taskforce, GTLD taskforce, Policy Development Process on
contractual positions.  Bret will brief Alan, they'll decide who
works on which.

ALAC asked for Domain Name Tasting issues report on its way, which
will go to GNSO council, 10-15 days to review, decide whether to start
a PDP.  If yes, there's a GNSO task force.

Suggest Annette ask Paul Twomey on behalf of the ALAC to create an
issues report on issues re domain name tasting per our resolution. We
can suggest issues to be covered in the report.

Question of management of the icannalac web site, is it the job of the
vice chair for outreach, paid position possibly Jean, something else?


== GAC status == ( Bertrand la Chapelle)

Discusses the way that governments work in the GAC, traditionally
negotiation toward written documents.

Starts with example of WHOIS.

Annette suggests we identify areas of common areas of interest.

On GTLDs, question of whether pure market driven approach is correct,
or add classes of various sorts.  GAC and ALAC can work on being
sure broad based process to decide.

== Domain names guide ==

John will coordinate,  finish on  July 1, perhaps for PR meeting.

== New web and mail stuff == (Nick)

Mailman mailing lists, three per region

ALS application page now in multiple languages.  Applications can be in
any language, staff will normalize to English for us.

ICANN has Socialtext as their wiki, each region has an area which it
can manage itself.  Invitations sent out to various people to allow
setting up passwords.
