Draft -- PSO Status Report on PSO Protocol Activities

Dear Protocol Council Members

Below please find a draft of a Status Report  on PSO Protocol Council 
Activities to ICANN, as I was tasked to do in our last teleconference.

I based this on the two past reports:
http://www.pso.icann.org/Pso_report.html and 
http://www.pso.icann.org/pso_report2.html
as well as the statements of the PSO and the minutes of teleconferences 
from that period. 
http://www.pso.icann.org/PSO_Statements/PSO_Statements_home.htm
http://www.pso.icann.org/PSO_Minutes/PSO_Minutes_home.htm

I would appreciate any comments or suggestions.  Review of this report is 
included in the agenda for our next teleconference.

Best regards,
Amy

July 2002:

July 24, 2002
21st audio conference achieved:
http://www.pso.icann.org/PSO_Minutes/PSO-Minutes-24July2002.txt
- Azucena Hernandez  updated the PC on the ICANN meeting in Bucharest
- The PC discussed the ISO application for SDO membership in the PSO.
Since consensus of all members in acceptance of an application is required, 
but was not, in this case, achieved, the ISO could not be admitted to the 
PSO-PC. The PC noted, under the rules of the MOU, the ISO could appeal  the 
decision with the ICANN Board.
- Since no candidates for nomination to the ICANN Board of Directors were 
received by the original deadline of 15 July 2002, the deadline for 
nominations was extended to 15 August 2002.
