This is just a short note to say that I consider the minutes of the last
teleconference approved, as I didn't get any comments. I shall therefore
publish them shortly on the website.

Minutes
-------
1. The PSO Council has discussed the ICANN's recent resolution (see ICANN Meeting
held in Stockhom, 1-4 June 2001) on creating the "New TLD Evaluation Process
Planning Task Force" which will recommend processes for monitoring the implementation
of the new TLDs and evaluating the new TLD program, including any ongoing
adjustments of agreements with operators or sponsors of new TLDs.
In this light, ICANN has sought PSO advice and requested the PSO Council to
provide nominees willing to serve on the new Task Force.
The PSO-PC members have decided to come back with proposals (2 individuals)
on the PSO-PC exploder and confirm to the ICANN Board by the latest 11 July 2001
(the date of the PSO GA).
2. The PSO Council has thoughtfully considered a comprehensive proposal from
Azucena on defining a clear procedure for reporting on PSO matters to ICANN
meetings. The proposal implied the support of the PSO Secretariat and created a
template structure of the presentation to be given by the PSO Council members
with the occasion of every ICANN meeting.
Gerry reminded that he attended the ICANN Annual Meeting last year and gave an
impromtu presentation of the PSO activities, using as a basis the overview
offered to the attendees of the first PSO General Assembly hosted by IETF in
Pittsburgh (August 3rd, 2001).
The proposal from Azucena was welcomed, as the PSO-PC supported the need for a
well-coordinated preparation on reporting to ICANN. However, it was not agreed
to report on the activities of each of the SDOs on a regular basis, but if any
of the organisations has important information to give about its work in
relation to ICANN activities, then this can be slotted into the presentation.
It has been agreed to use the proposed framework, while adjusting its items on a
case-by-case basis, and have the report prepared in advance of the ICANN meeting.
If there is nothing to report, then the Secretary will arrange for the item to be
deleted from the ICANN Agenda prior to the meeting.
3. The PSO Council has analyzed again the procedure of nominations to the ICANN Board
and its related aspects. The PSO website has published on June 1st 2001 the open
call for nominations from the public at-large to the ICANN Board (for the term
begining October 1st 2001). Livia has reported that no nominations have been
received so far.
The PSO-PC has agreed to use the last year's well-defined procedure for evaluating
CVs and analyzing applications (see ANNEX A below). It has been highlighted that
July 15th 2001 is the closing date for nominations, to be forwarded to the PSO Council.
4. Livia gave a complete update on the PSO GA preparation:
Full-details for the PSO GA on 11 July 2001 are published on the PSO website at:
http://www.pso.icann.org/PSO_GA_2001/PSO_GA_HOME.htm.
Two ICANN Board Directors (Helmut Schink and Hans Kraaijenbrink) have confirmed
their availability and willingness to join the PSO GA participants and offer their
presentations under the Agenda Item 4 (ICANN structure and development/Future of ICANN).
The PSO Council members have expressed the need to also have an ICANN staff
representative to attend and explain the internal structure of ICANN and other matters.
Livia highlighted the scope of the PSO GA, to give a report of the PSO activities,
but also to enable a fruitful information exchange and experience sharing on the
latest IP-related topics, e.g. IPv4/IPv6 migration.
Gerry suggested the possibility to invite/encourage presentations about
interoperability testing, achievements, milestones, etc., to be given by experts from
ETSI, IETF, EP TIPHON, etc. He added that Livia should check whether the ETSI bake-off
manager can give a general presentation of the ETSI "Bake-off" service and the IPv6
activities within ETSI, with a possible timeframe for a potential bake-off on IPv4/IPv6
migration.
Fabio has informed the PSO-PC that Mr. Houlin Zhao, the ITU-TSB Director will replace
him on the PSO GA Agenda Item 2.1, to give the presentation on the ITU activities.
Livia will update the agenda on the PSO website accordingly.
It has been agreed that Gerry will chair the PSO GA and guide participants and speakers
through the whole range of presentations and discussions.
Livia was tasked to request the participation of an ICANN staff member, at least
by phone, for the General Assembly and especially for Agenda Items 4 and 5. ETSI
has excellent audio-conference facilities and also the webcast access will be provided
to the public at-large. It was mentioned that the ICANN Board could follow the webcast
and then intervene by phone, as necessary.
5. The PSO Council has then analyzed the ISO consideration of applying for membership of the
ICANN PSO. In this light, a representative of the ISO/IEC JTC1 will attend the PSO GA
in July 2001, in order to meet the PSO community and analyze the dimensions of a possible
ISO involvement. If they wish to procede further, ISO shall then explain how they meet
the membership criteria as defined in the PSO MoU and subsequentely send a formal request
to the PSO Council.
6. It has been reminded that July-August 2001 is the period of handling over the
PSO Secretariat to another PSO signatory. As a result, Fabio has officially announced
that ITU will take over this task for the August 2001-August 2002 period and that
Mr. Vladimir Androuchko (ITU-T) will assume the continuity of Livia's function. In order
to ensure a smooth transition, Mr. Androuchko will attend the PSO GA hosted by ETSI on
11th July 2001 and will consider together with Livia the best way to transfer the existing
PSO archive and all the related responsabilities of the PSO Secretary.
7. The next PSO-PC teleconference was proposed for Friday, 27 July 2001, at 15:00 CET.
