5. ASO Review
The Chair stated that the contracted reviewers from ITEMS would be presenting a draft of the ASO Review to the AC. He noted that this draft of the review had been sent to the ASO AC list. The ITEMS contractors went through the presentation regarding significant portions of the review draft.
After the presentation, it was requested that the ASO to provide feedback to ITEMS, as the final draft deadline is December 9, 2011.
The Chair requested that since this was the first draft, the ASO AC review the near-final draft to provide feedback, before submission of the final draft. He acknowledged that this request might push the December 9th deadline out further, or prompt ITEMS to finish the draft earlier to accommodate the request. Tom McKenzie, of the ITEMS team, stated that the 9th of December was chosen because the ITEMS team needs to attend the AfriNIC 15 meeting, and that meeting ends on 25 November. They are contracted to attend 1 meeting of each RIR to conduct their review. They stated they would consider the Chair’s request and try to accommodate it.
The Chair further suggested that the ASO AC set their date to provide feedback to ITEMS for either 02 December (the day after the next ASO AC teleconference) or 05 December. Tom McKenzie, suggested the team provide the next draft for the final report to the ASO AC by 01 December, keeping the final draft deadline of 09 December. It was the sense of the AC that this would work. The Chair thanked him.
AL asked if they anticipated major changes to the review after the AfriNIC, as those changes would need to be incorporated. The Chair acknowledged his concern. Tom confirmed ITEMS would work toward the 01 December date. He considered it unlikely that the feedback from people at the AfriNIC meeting would radically change the presentation, but did anticipate some revisions to the draft review, based on their comments.
The Chair noted that the missing description of the roles of Chair and Vice Chair in the procedures is being worked on with the Secretariat for approval and adoption.
Chair stated, with regard to ASO outreach to the SOs and AC’s, that it is not possible to present to them every time. The last time was the first attempt to involve them; and, it may be that the ASO AC doesn’t reach all of them each time. Tom McKenzie agreed with the Chair.
The Chair thanked the ITEMS team for the presentation. The ITEMS guests left at this time (12:44 p.m. EST).
6. Selection of Individuals to the ICANN Board of Directors.
Action Item: 1006-02: CHAIR. Send the documents to the EC for approval. OPEN.
The Chair stated that since the ASO AC did not make changes to version that was forwarded as the final draft to the NRO EC, he had forwarded a note to the NRO EC letting them know that the Council adopted the same version that was sent to the EC for tentative approval.
The ASO AC had already received this approval from 4 of the 5 EC members. Section 7 of the AC Operating Procedures has been updated and can be found at:
