The Chair accepted this procedure. CJW moved to accept the minutes, and this was seconded by KH. The motion carried unanimously. SEC will remove the “draft” header from the minutes on the website.

    1. Report from ARIN IX and RIPE 42

RP gave a brief overview of the ARIN IX meeting held in Las Vegas in April. He reported that IPv6 policy proposal as amended at the APNIC meeting held in Bangkok in March was adopted with minor modifications. The modifications included using the term “License” instead of “Lease”, and that there was no apparent consensus for subsequent allocations. RP also stated the policy proposal on micro allocations was refined and expanded to include IPv6, and that the discussion on lame delegations was deferred. He stated that in regard to the ICANN reform, the RIRs jointly announced that they would give ICANN half of the escrow money, but that they had declined signing the contract due to the turmoil within ICANN at this time. The ARIN IX minutes are posted on website.

The Chair thanked RP and then asked if someone would report on the recent Ripe 42 meeting in Amsterdam this month. AP reported similarly, stating that the proposal for IPv6 was presented and accepted, and a final policy paper was being drafted. He also stated that the ICANN CEO presented at the meeting, and the discussion that ensued thereafter indicated that the RIRs can continue to do their job without ICANN.

The Chair thanked AP for his report and asked for the status of open action items. SEC presented the action item list.

    1. Verisign agreement amendment request

Discussions are on-going, with no position taken to date. The Chair stated that she would draft a document to the AC by next Friday. SEC stated that ICANN has two RFCs out regarding ENR Committee mission, and the core values and development process. The Chair stated that the subcommittee will incorporate responses to these RFCs as well.

SEC stated that since this Agenda was drafted, AfriNIC had their meeting. SEC gave a brief report stating that the meeting had taken place earlier this week in Lome, Togo.

    1. BoD elections

As agreed in previous meetings, at this point MD and RB voluntarily left the call. The Chair stated the election mailing list has been established and reiterated that the AC discuss this item on the list. She urged them to be straight forward on what they expect to come out of this directorship and whom they want. She stated that it was possible that the candidate may not be seated in a traditional sense, due to the ICANN reform. The Chair reiterated that the AC make a decision so the candidate can participate in the June ICANN meeting. The question arose of when the current board seat terminated.

From the Bylaws of ICANN – Section 9(c)5:

“The term of a Director selected by any Supporting Organization to succeed a Director previously selected by it (other than a Director selected to fill a vacancy) shall expire at the conclusion of the third Annual Meeting of the Corporation after the one at the conclusion of which the term of the Director’s predecessor expired.”

The third annual meeting of ICANN in 2002 will conclude on October 31.

The Chair asked if anyone had anything to add. CJW stated that her comments were sent to the list. The Chair recognized that KH had done this as well.

    1. AOB

Chair asked if there was any other business to discuss. JC asked if anyone needs room in Romania for the upcoming ICANN meeting. The Chair stated that she did not think so, but if so, she would get back to him. The dates of the ICANN meeting were given: 6/24-28/02.

TA raised the question of having 3 identical policies versus one global policy. A brief discussion ensued with the Chair reiterating that the general consensus of RIR constituencies was to have three globally coordinated policies, not 1 ASO policy. The Chair then asked TA if he understood this to be true. TA agreed but felt the resulting documents should be discussed.

The Chair then asked AP if RIPE was going to adopt the IPv6 policy as their own. AP answered affirmatively. RP interjected that none of the RIRs have made a recommendation to make it a global policy and that all RIRs are in agreement of the three coordinated policies.

PW stated that there was a fair amount of complaint that having one global policy is a cumbersome process and that three polices are a compromise between global and local, and it’s been acceptable so far.

The Chair asked when the next AC meeting would be. SEC stated it would be Wednesday, June 5th. The Chair stated that a standard reminder is helpful and would appreciate being reminded. She also stated that if an AC member could not make the meeting, to please announce it in advance.
