1          Recommendation 1 - conflict with national laws 

The task force discussed whether to proceed with developing Recommendation 1
as a consensus policy or as advice (to ICANN staff / the Board), or as a
combination of both.  

 

Decisions

*       The task force agreed to develop the recommendation in two sections:
as a policy which includes a procedure, accompanied by a recommendation on
how to implement that procedure.  

 

Actions

*       Steve Metalitz and Kathy Kleiman to draft a revised recommendation
in two sections. 

*       Jordyn Buchanan to provide input to Steve and Kathy in the form of
thoughts and notes from the call. 

*       Task force members will continue to use the mailing list to discuss
this issue.  

 

 

2          Recommendation 2 - improving notice and consent

The task force discussed whether any substantive changes needed to be made
to the final task force report and also whether/in what form guidance on
implementation should be provided in the transmittal to the GNSO Council.
The guidance discussion was mostly based on the list of implementation
issues provided to the mailing list and with suggested changes by Steve
Metalitz ( <http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-dow123/msg00315.html>
http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-dow123/msg00315.html). 

 

 

No substantive changes to the recommendations in the  final task force
report were made. 

 

A vote was held on the question 'whether we should include the issues
identified in last week's call and identified by Paul Stahura today be
included in the transmittal to the Council'.  

 

Decisions 

*       The list of implementation issues will be sent to the Council with
the recommendation, accompanied by caveats that they are not agreed on by
everyone in the task force, all issues are worthy of further consideration
and the list is not exhaustive.  

*       If no further substantive changes to the recommendations in the
final task force report are made by Thursday 26 May 2005.  If substantive
changes are made, a task force call will be held on Tuesday 31st May to
discuss before finalizing the report for submission to the GNSO Council. 

 

Actions

.        If no substantive changes are received by Thursday 26 May, Maria
will send the final task force report on recommendation 1 to the GNSO
Council ahead of their next meeting on Thursday 2nd June 2005. 

 

 

3          Next task force call:

*       As presently advised, there will be no call on Tuesday 31st May
2005.
