Title: Fwd: Re: New ICANN IDN Committee: PSO Council nominee
Dear
Protocol Council Members,
Please
find below the continuation of the note of Mr. S. Lynn concerning the ICANN IDN
Committee.
Best
regards,
Vlad
Vladimir -- my apologies, but I hit the send key by accident before I had
finished this note.
I intended to add that we would prefer just one name since the Council is
in much the best position to make judgments on this issue as to whom they would
prefer. However, since there will be other members of the Committee proposed by
me to the Board, who will augment the SO nominees, we would be prepared to make
the choice if necessary in order to achieve the best balance on the
Committee.

Dear Vladimir:
Appended is the text of the resolution passed by
the Board in Montevideo authorizing the IDN Committee.
The operative part as far as appointment of
members is concerned is:
"Further resolved [01.98]
that the President, in consultation with the IDN Committee Chair, shall
propose, for approval by the Board, representatives to serve on the IDN
Committee from the ICANN Board, the Supporting Organizations, the Governmental
Advisory Committee, and such other individuals who in his judgment could
meaningfully contribute to this effort."
As far as the Supporting
Organizations are concerned, I am taking that to mean that each Supporting
Organization would recommend one or more representatives. If more than one is
nominated, I would choose from the list in consultation with Director Katoh,
before submitting the complete list to the Board for approval. I will also
nominate other individuals to the Board, following consultation with Director
Katoh, as indicated in the last sentence of the resolution.
I hope this is helpful.
Stuart

Whereas, in resolution 01.39 the Board
established an internal working group on
Internationalized Domain Names to identify the
various internationalization efforts and the issues they raise, to engage in
dialogue with technical experts and other participants in these efforts, and
to make appropriate recommendations to the Board;
Whereas, the internal
working group conducted various information-gathering activities, including
the posting of a community
survey;
Whereas, the internal working
group presented an interim
report at the
ICANN Public Forum held in Stockholm on 3 June 2001, and that report was discussed at the Public Forum, at
the Board Meeting, and on ICANN's Internationalized
Domain Names web-based public forum;
Whereas, the internal working group presented
its final report
at the ICANN Public Forum held in Montevideo on
9 September 2001;
Whereas, the final
report identified several policy issues meriting further evaluation and
recommended that the examination of these issues proceed in parallel with
continuing technical standardization and other preparatory work for the
introduction of IDNs;
Whereas, these policy issues cannot be fully
resolved until the Internet Engineering Task
Force completes
work on a deployable IDN standard, but initial
work on the policy issues that will arise can and should proceed
concurrently;
Whereas, the final report also recommended that the Board
establish an IDN Committee to coordinate the work of various ICANN supporting
organizations, committees, and other groups on the policy issues and to
promote timely development of policy recommendations on them;
and
Whereas, the Board has considered public comment on the final
report made electronically and at the Montevideo Public
Forum;
Resolved [01.94] that IDN
Committee is hereby established under Article
VII, Section 1(c), of the ICANN bylaws to serve
as a general coordination body for the work on policy issues identified in the
IDN Working Group Report and such other policy issues that the IDN Committee
shall identify;
Further resolved [01.95]
that the IDN Committee shall be responsible for promoting the coordination of
the work of the ICANN supporting organizations, committees, and other groups
on the policy issues arising from IDNs, as documented in the final report, and
to promote timely development of policy recommendations on those issues for
consideration by the community and the ICANN Board;
Further resolved
[01.96] that in its policy-coordination activities, the IDN Committee should
seek to ensure that any recommendations are achieved through a bottom-up
process, and that those recommendations reflect a wide range of expertise on
the different aspects relevant to the issues;
Further resolved [01.97]
that the IDN Committee shall be chaired by Director Masanobu Katoh;
Further resolved [01.98] that
the President, in consultation with the IDN Committee Chair, shall propose,
for approval by the Board, representatives to serve on the IDN Committee from
the ICANN Board, the Supporting Organizations, the Governmental Advisory
Committee, and such other individuals who in his judgment could meaningfully
contribute to this effort;
Further resolved [01.99] that the IDN
Committee is encouraged to commission panels of volunteer experts from
different countries with practical experience in the policy issues identified
in the Final Report, and linguistic experts (including experts in non-ASCII
character sets and languages not spoken by persons active in current
discussions); and
Further resolved [01.100]
that the IDN Committee is requested to present its initial work plan,
schedule, and proposed budget for approval by the ICANN Board at the third
ICANN annual meeting, to be held in Marina del Rey in November
2001."
Dear Stuart,
On behalf of the Protocol
Council, I would like to ask you for
clarifications concerning the IDN
Nominee.
Could you be so kind as to clarify the procedures for IDN
Nominee/Election?
How many candidates will be elected, are
representatives proposed by the
different Supporting Organizations? What
are the deadlines?
During the last conference call that took place on
Friday, 26 October PSO-PC
have considered this issue but Protocol Council
Members need some more time
to take a decision.
Thank you very much for your
explanations.
Sincerely yours,
Vladimir
