I have revised and enclosed here the minutes and agenda, taking into
consideration the comments from Leslie and Brian.
As it would be good indeed to invite the new ICANN CEO to the PSO GA (thank
you, Brian, to remind me), I have included this on the agenda.
Please send me your thoughts on these.
Best regards, Livia

Subject: PSO GA 2001 AND MINUTES
Livia,
The arrangements with TIPHON look good to me (I can be there on the 11th
of July). Concerning the agenda (and the minutes) the suggestion made
during our last teleconference was to repeat some of the papers from the
opening session of the ITU-T IP Networking and Multimedia Workshop that
is being held in Geneva in April. There will be presentations from the
PSO members (Fabio, Gerry, Scott and W3C) and we agreed that these could
form a part of the agenda at the GA. This I guess is what was behind the
ITU-T IP item on the first version of your agenda but it will not just
be Fabio.
So agenda items 3 and 4 could be rolled into one and called something
like 'Introduction and activities of the PSO signatories'.
On another issue did we agree to invite the new ICANN CEO to attend and
give us his thoughts on the future of ICANN? If not should we?
Brian.

ICANN Protocol Standards Organization (PSO)
February 01, 2001 Teleconference
Reported by: Livia Rosu, PSO Secretary
PARTICIPANTS
---------
Steve Bellovin / IETF Representative
Fabio Bigi / ITU Representative
Leslie Daigle / IETF Representative
Gerry Lawrence / ETSI Representative
Brian Moore / ITU Representative
APOLOGIES
---------
Bridget Cosgrave / ETSI Representative
Philipp Hoschka / W3C Representative
Daniel Weitzner / W3C Representative
Minutes
-------
1. The PSO Council members have analyzed the impact of the newly selected
Top-Level Domains (.aero, .biz, .coop, .info, .museum, .name and .pro).
The issue of increasing traffic going to roots has been considered as paramount.
It has been agreed that there are no other critical protocol-based matters
related to the new TLDs.
As ICANN is still in the process of finalizing its recommendations for the
practical implementation of the new TLDs, the PSO-PC has identified a need to
reconsider again this agenda item at a later stage.
2. The voting mechanism for 2001 nomination to the ICANN Board has been discussed.
Prior to October 1, 2001, the Protocol Supporting Organization shall select its
representative for the two-year term to the ICANN Board, according to the
PSO MoU and procedures specified by the Article VI-C of the ICANN Bylaws
(as amended July 16, 2000).
3. The issue of the PSO nomination to the Nominating Committee for the Independent
Review Committee has been analyzed. As agreed time ago, ETSI and ITU shall have
a combined unique choice, while IETF and W3C shall have theirs. ETSI and ITU have
already chosen the Director of the ITU-TSB Houlin Zhao.
Leslie and Steve shall co-ordinate with Philipp and Daniel to come up shortly
with a name for the IETF/W3C nomination to IRC, and shall inform the Council on
their decission.
4. The PSO-PC has thoughtfully discussed the organization of the PSO General Assembly
2001, to be hosted by ETSI. According to the PSO MoU, "each annual General Assembly
will be hosted by a signing SDO in conjunction with one of its major meetings".
It has been decided to host the PSO GA 2001 in ETSI, during the ETSI Project (EP)
TIPHON Meeting #23, which is to be held the whole week of 9-13 July 2001. It has
also been highlighted the importance of inviting the management of ETSI Technical
Committee SPAN to attend the PSO GA and share their experience.
In its quality of Chairman of the ETSI Operational Co-ordination Group (OCG),
Gerry Lawrence explained that EP TIPHON (Telecommunications and Internet Protocol
Harmonization over Networks) and TC SPAN (Services and Protocol for Advanced
Networks) work closely together and are interested in the work of the PSO. In this
light, it will prove to be very beneficial to have TIPHON and SPAN participants
attending the PSO GA.
Livia has reported some progress in organizing related administrative details and
communicated the availability of 2 Vice-Chairmen of TC SPAN to come and join the
PSO GA attendees.
It has been decided that Livia shall continue to make all the necessary arrangements
for the good organization of the PSO GA and shall co-ordinate with the EP TIPHON
Chairman & PSO ICANN Director Helmut Schink the accommodation of the PSO GA
by one of the EP TIPHON sessions, for 2-3 hours. Livia shall report back to the PSO
Council on the progress made as soon as possible.
The issue of content and speakers has been analyzed as well. It has been underlined
that each organization signatory of the PSO MoU shall give short presentations on
their activities with a focus on IP related matters.
Gerry has underlined that ITU-T is organizing a workshop on "IP Networking and
MEDIACOM-2004" (http://www.itu.int/itudoc/itu-t/com13/circ/01-04/013.html) on
24-27 April 20001 in Geneva,convened at the request of ITU-T Study Groups 13
(Multi-protocol and IP-based networks and their internetworking) and 16 (Multimedia
services, systems and terminals). There will be presentations from the PSO member
organizations (ITU-by Fabio, ETSI-by Gerry, IETF-by Scott and W3C-to be determined).
The PSO Council members have agreed that these presentations could form a part of the
agenda at the PSO GA 2001 and therefore the ITU-T workshop will provide valuable
material to import into PSO GA on topics related to IP networking.
The ICANN staff shall be invited to offer an updated overview on ICANN structure
and development. It is also hoped that at least a few ICANN Board members will be
available to attend the PSO GA. It is of a particular importance that the three PSO
ICANN Directors (Helmut Schink, Vint Cerf and Philip Davidson) will share their
experience with the Internet community present at the GA.
Livia shall draft the agenda and the invitation for the PSO GA, as soon as she can fix
the date together with EP TIPHON management. Further suggestions on content and speakers
for the GA were invited by e-mail.
