Minutes
1. Mr. Fabio Bigi, ITU-T Member of PSO PC opened the meeting and welcomed the participants.
2. Vladimir took advantage of this occasion to announce the successful transfer of the PSO
web site, exploder lists and archives from ETSI to ITU and thanked Livia Rosu for her help
during this process and making the necessary arrangements for a smooth take-over of the
PSO Secretary responsibilities.
3. The draft final report of ALSC on ICANN At-Large Membership was sent to PSO-PC Members
on 24 August 2001. It was decided to request the ALSC deadline for comments.
Therefore it was agreed that the secretary would write a letter to
the Executive Director of ALSC requesting the deadline for comments.
It was agreed that while the PSO-PC will refrain from making comments on general policy
and will only deal with PSO Charter and Constitution.
4. Protocol Council has thoughtfully considered the Alternative Roots issue.
Pending discussions to be held at the occasion of ITU-T Study Group 2 Meeting
(Geneva, 4-09-01 to 14-09-01), it was noted that the agreement could be reached
on the following statement:
The Internet DNS currently operates using a Single Authoritative Root Server System.
Although, it would be technically possible to devise and standardize a fully compliant alternative
multiple root server system, there appears no technical reason for changing from the present
working system, as this would require the development of a new set of protocols for use
by the DNS.
The secretary will inform ICANN immediately after the meeting of ITU-T Study Group 2.
5. Protocol Council Members have discussed their participation in the ICANN Meetings.
Unfortunately, nobody will be available to attend the Montevideo, Uruguay ICANN Meeting.
The secretary will inform ICANN accordingly and will request that the report of PSO-PC will not
be included in the Agenda of the Montevideo Meeting.
Brian, Azucena and another ITU-T representative will attend the Marina del Rey, California,
USA ICANN Meeting. It was decided that the report on the activities of the PSO-PC will be
drafted by the possible participants and circulated amongst the PSO-PC Members,
based on the results of the last GA.
The PSO-PC members present at Marina del Rey will introduce the Report to ICANN.
6. As Gerry is taking his retirement as of 14th of September,
the new PSO PC Member is appointed by ETSI: Mr. Tapio Kaijanen ETSI Board Member Director,
Technology and Research, SONERA Corporation. All PSO PC Members expressed their best wishes
to Gerry.
7. Azucena announced that ETSI is going to organize a Workshop on ICANN and cordially invited
all PSO PC Members to attend this event. The Workshop will take place on the 20th of November
