RE: [gnso-whois-dt] Whois Study Drafting Team Meeting Notes for 7 Jan 09

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Glen kindly pointed out an error in my meeting notes.  The 4th bullet
under 'Input for the working Excel file' reads, "Liz will complete and
distribute the Excel file in advance of our next meeting, which will be
scheduled at the same time on Wednesday, 14 January."  The correct date
for the next meeting as properly stated at the end of the notes is
Monday, 21 January.
 
Sorry about that.
 
Chuck

for 7 Jan 09
        
        
        Here's breif recap of the Whois Studies meeting held yesterday 7
Jan 09.
         
        To date this work has been essentially a GNSO Council activity
with alternates allowed.  Because of that, Avri has been cooridinating
the work.  Avri requested that someone else serve as coordinator and
suggested I do because I had put forward the RyC approach that we have
been using.  I agreed with the understanding that if participants
supported me doing so and also with the understanding that I would
gladly welcome another volunteer from the group to do that.  So if
anyone wants to volunteer please speek up. Similarly, if anyone objects
to me doing this, please make that known.
         
        Participants in the 7 Jan meeting: Avri Doria, Steve DelBianco,
Carlos Souza, David Giza, Stacy Burnette, Tony Holmes, Tony Harris, Lee
Elgin, Tim Ruiz, and Chuck Gomes.
         
        In our meeting yesterday, there were two main topics:

        1.      Input for the working Excel file that can be found on
the wiki (https://st.icann.org/gnso-council/index.cgi?whois_discussion) 
        2.      Definitions of key terms

        Input for the working Excel file 

        *       The IPC and ISCPC committed to providing the numerical
input for priorities and feasibility of studies later this week. 
        *       Avri committed to trying to do the same for the NomCom
reps; if she is unsuccessful, we will delete the NomCom column. 
        *       Liz will contact the GAC and ALAC asking for priorities
and feasibility numbers NLT 16 January; if input is not received, we
will delete those columns and proceed, after which we will ask for
comments on the final Excel file results. 
        *       Liz will complete and distribute the Excel file in
advance of our next meeting, which will be scheduled at the same time on
Wednesday, 14 January. 
        *       The final Excel file will be used in our meeting on 14
January to try to develop some motions for moving forward with the task
of identifying studies that could be recommended for cost/feasibility
estimates.

         Definitions of key terms

        *       Note: on 23 Dec. Liz had distributed a first draft of a
document titled 'Key Terms that May be Used in Future WHOIS Studies'; a
link is provided on the wiki referenced above. 
        *       Prior to the 7 Jan call, Tim Ruiz sent a red-line
version of Liz's document with proposed edits. 
        *       Those on the 7 Jan call discussed Tim's proposed edits
as well as edits proposed by others during the meeting and produced a
new version, which Liz will distribute to the Whois Study list for
review; everyone is asked to forward the document to their respective
constituencies, advisory committees, etc and obtain feedback prior to
our next meeting on 16 January.  List discussion is also encouraged.

        Next meeting: Wednesday, 21 Jan 09, 18:00 UTC (10:00 PST, 12:00
Cedar Rapids, 16:00 Buenos Aires, London 18:00, 19:00 CET, 23:00
Karachi, 02:00 Hong Kong/Singapore, 05:00 Melbourne next day)
         
        For those who were on the call, please correct anything that I
misstated.
         
        Chuck
