Minutes
1. W3C announced the replacement of Mr. Philipp Hoschka by Mr. Martin Duerst.
Protocol Council Members warmly welcomed Martin.
2. Results of the ICANN Meeting in Marina Del Rey were discussed. Steve confirmed that his
key note presentation on Security was available at:
http://wwww.research.att.com/~smb/talks/icann-security/index.html
Brian informed Protocol Council Members that he used the output of the ICANN meeting for
drafting the document on security issues for the Telecommunication Standardization Advisory Group (TSAG)
Meeting of ITU-T, which was held at ITU Headquarters, Geneva 26-30 November inclusive.
As a result TSAG supported a special study on sub-related issues of security and reliability.
A Liaison Statement was sent to all ITU-T Study Groups asking to join this study.
Tapio mentioned that ICANN decided to set up a Standing Committee on Security.
At the ICANN Meeting the intensive discussion on this subject took place and many important issues
related to security were raised.
Fabio drew the attention of the Protocol Council Members to the upcoming ITU-T Workshops on Security.
One will be organized by the ITU-T on specific technical issues on May 13-14 2002, Korea, and the
second will be organized by the ITU General Secretariat on regulatory issues in security.
Secretary was tasked to provide Protocol Council Members with more detailed information
when it becomes available.
3. Protocol Council Members thoughtfully analyzed the issue of the newly created
ICANN Restructuring Committee.
Azucena was approached by two members of this newly created Committee, who asked PSO-PC to send
its views on the Structure of ICANN.
Other PSO-PC Members found that this was not matter to make an opinion, since the PSO-PC will
intervene only on technical matters. It was agreed that, bearing this in mind,
ETSI will come up with a proposal, which will be discussed by Protocol Council Members through e-mail.
If consensus is reached, the document will be sent to the Chairman of the Restructuring Committee
as PSO Common Position.
In case a consensus is not possible to achieve, each Supporting Organization, which is
willing to make a contribution will send its views separately.
As far as ICANN Restructuring Committee is dealing with the issues of At-Large participation,
Tapio invited all Protocol Council Members to consider the following:
1) ICANN should agree on the working methods.
2) The voting procedures should be considered
3) A procedure for checking the candidates’ background has to be elaborated
Nevertheless, for the time being, PSO PC agreed to wait for ETSI proposal before making
any statement on this issue.
4. During the last conference call Azucena proposed ETSI candidate to
ICANN Committee Internationalized Domain Names, Mr. Roberto Laorden. Azucena asked PSO PC to
support the ETSI candidate. All Protocol Council Members agreed to support the ETSI candidate
and the procedure of nomination will be initiated.
5. On the request of Mr. S. Lynn, ICANN CEO, the issue of possible contribution/recommendation
concerning the elaboration of the ICANN Budget was thoughtfully considered. It was specified
that PSO PC should consider the question from the point of affecting the technical aspects of protocols
and related issues only. Azucena volunteered to provide an input on this subject.
6. Shared Registry System issue was discussed. Mr. Helmut Schink raised this question in his e-mail
to PSO-PC when he was giving the output of the ICANN Montevideo Meeting.
Due to the operational nature of this problem, Protocol Council Members agreed that this matter
should be further considered.
7. The next teleconference was scheduled on Monday, 4th February 2002, at 14h00 CET.
