    1. Agenda bashing

HRG asked about the meeting calendar for 2002. Noted it was already on website, but did not notice any thing from the Asian region. BR noted that APNIC was on the site.

HPH thought that the problem for scheduling meetings is the planning horizon.

RP suggested indicating that a meeting will take place, but the place and time would be indicated as “to be determined”. AC agreed to this.

HPH asks if there are any other issues.

MD brought up the status of IDN. It was agreed to discuss under Item #11: AOB.

TA mentions election of Chair? HPH explained that he would Chair the meeting until the last item of business: Item 10 of the agenda – Election of Chair. All agreed.

    1. Secretariat transfer status

RJ reports that administrative coordination of transfer conducted in December 2001 and DNS changes were made in January. The Secretariat has been transferred from RIPE NCC to ARIN and all ASO services are operational. RJ thanked Miriam and the engineering dept. at RIPE NCC for their assistance.

    1. Minutes from December AC telephone conference

MK reported that action item 0109-3: “Process for AC Chair Nomination and Election” was mistakenly incorporated as ‘done’, and should have been reflected as ‘on-going’. She will correct and put latest version on web.

HPH asked if the AC wanted this circulated first and then approve the process, or approve it now. All agreed to vote then and there. There were 7 in favor and two absent.

    1. ICANN Budget Comments

HPH forwarded the e-mail from Stuart Lynn re: the ICANN budget to the AC. AC sent their comments through the RIRs. RP updated everyone: RP sent an e-mail earlier this month requesting comments to Stuart’s three questions. Prior to December, the RIRs already put together their budgets from their perspectives. Comments are due tomorrow to ICANN. RP would need any further input by tonight if anything is to be added. HPH stated he had nothing else to add to the comments. HPH asked if anyone else did. Answer was no.

    1. AC physical meeting (in conjunction with AGM)?

Discussion ensued regarding where and when to hold the meeting; if it should be in conjunction with the AGM during APNIC’s meeting in March. All seemed to think this was the best way to meet despite conflicts with the fact that if they met before the GM, no one would know who was nominated to the ICANN board seat.

The purpose of a physical meeting would be to discuss issue too difficult to discuss electronically or telephonically. BR proposed the meeting to be held on March 7th in Bangkok and RJ would put out an announcement to the group. All agreed on this meeting schedule.

On another note, MD expressed concern of attendance at the ICANN meeting in Accra, Ghana. AP came onto the call at this time and stated that all RIRs would be attending this meeting.

    1. Final approval of procedure to elect chair

HPH stated that the procedure had been circulated on the mailing list. A formal vote to now approve the procedure should be done. BR moved to approve the publishing of the procedure and ED seconded. 7 approved, none against, 2 absent. RJ will post to web.

    1. Election of new chair

HPH called for nominations. CW nominated BR. SJ nominated HPH. HPH declined and asked if there were any other nominations. There were none. BR accepted the nomination of Chair to the AC. ED moved for unanimous consent for BR to become the Chair. HPH seconded. There were no objections. Hearing none, HPH declared BR the new Chair to the AC. BR asked if there should be a Vice Chair. BR pointed out that there were no formal procedures established. The Chair could elect 2 people, but BR felt it better to take volunteers. HPH and KH both volunteered for Vice Chair and both were appointed.

    1. Any other business

MD gave the status of next IDN meeting, that it would be held on January 22, 2002.

HRG announced that LACNIC elected three individuals as ASO AC listeners for 2002: German Valdez, Hartmut Richard Glaser, and Raimundo Beca. The issue of identifying participants from the emerging RIRs as observers or listeners was raised. RP stated that the MoU recognizes only one observer from an emerging RIR and that the ASO has elected to also recognize two listeners. As long as the AC follows the ASO MoU they will be fine. HPH stated that it didn’t seem to matter how the participants from LACNIC were labeled, as they are moving close to being recognized as a full member of the ASO. HPH suggested this discussion should not be continued. The AC agreed to leave as-is.

CW leaves the meeting.

SJ pointed out a program committee for the upcoming AGM should be formed? BR agreed this was a good idea and asked for volunteers. SJ, RJ, KH and BR all volunteered.

SJ: Thanked HPH for last year’s great job.

AC to devise a procedure for ICANN Board Member selection in a Subcommittee.

BR offered to help with this task. ED volunteered to be on the subcommittee. BR stated that two more people were needed. HPH and GV volunteered.

BR adjourned the meeting at 23:10 UCT.
