Aren't we establishing more organizations than we can handle or grasp? I suggest that the NRO can address the suggested responsibilities of ASO without the addition of the new name! We do not need more organizations. Pleease.

The General Assembly should be held in coordination with one of the RIR's regular membership meeting. This should be added to the responsibilities in section 3.b of the MoU. - Section 3.b.3 should explicitly include the responsibility of the Address Council in respect to selecting an ICANN Board member and a representative to the ICANN Nominating Committee. - A short Appendix (Appendix B) should be added to the document that describes the agreement between ICANN and the NRO on how the transition between the existing Address Council and the new Address Council should take place. This need not be complicated, but it should be explicitly included in the MoU. Perhaps the Appendix could simply describe an approach that provided a common-sense, evolutionary transition for the makeup of the new Address Council. - The first paragraph of section 5 should be changed to the much simpler : "Global policies are defined as policies that have the consensus of all RIRs and ICANN." The concluding clause of the proposed text is too limiting in the definition of global policy. A policy that has been agreed to by all the RIRs through coordinated consensus building IS A GLOBAL POLICY regardless of the interaction of IANA or any external body. There is no need to limit the definition and it should not be limited. - Appendix A refers to the "Chair of the Address Council," but the MoU makes no requirement that the Address Council select a "Chair." This was also the source of misunderstanding in the original Address Council. Explicitly requiring that there be a chair, procedures for the chair's annual election, and responsibilities/limitations of the chair would avoid misunderstanding. While the NRO formation document suggests that a chair of the Number Council should be elected, it is not explicit about the responsibilities/limitations of the chair nor does it specify that the Numbers Council chair should act as the chair of the Address Council. - Section 3.C should be clear about what rights each liasions will have in regard to the Address Council. If the suggestion is that the rights and responsibilities of each liaison will be determined as each liaison agreement is negotiated, simply add that note to 3.C. In particular, can liaisons vote in the PDP? Can liaisons vote in the selection of ICANN entities in 3.b.3? Or, is this determined on a "liaison-by-liaison" basis. -- Mark McFadden Address Council Representative, North America From carsten at ripe.net Fri May 7 11:38:18 2004 From: carsten at ripe.net (Carsten Schiefner) Date: Wed Jul 13 16:41:54 2005 Subject: [NRO-Comments] Your mail to nro-comments@nro.org Message-ID: <200405070938.i479cITt031702@birch.ripe.net> Dear Ghazwa, your posting to was held for moderation as your are not a subscriber of this mailing list yet.

What are the plans, if any for public comments feedback to such a transition plan ? Perhaps it could be an idea to agree on the transition plan between the NRO and ICANN at the time of signing the NRO. Best Regards, Hans Petter Holen From hpholen at tiscali.no Fri May 7 13:19:06 2004 From: hpholen at tiscali.no (Hans Petter Holen) Date: Wed Jul 13 16:41:54 2005 Subject: [NRO-Comments] Selection methods Message-ID: followting some recent discussion on selection methods for various posts - it could be an idea to specify if there is an intent for the ASO to perform such elections in the AC or trough open processess. This may vary for the different selection processes. The board member election should in my opinion be trough an open nomination process while election of a representative from the NomCom perhaps best should be done among the AC members.
