GNSO Council on .net Criteria

The GNSO Council today accepted the .net criteria (draft resolution text) designed by its .net criteria subcommittee. Due to conflicts of interest, Alick Wilson carried the proxies of all three registrar representatives on Council, and Amadeu Abril i Abril’s proxy. The registry vote was split.Council also adopted a position submitted by the registry constituency during the conference call. This position calls for all material provisions of the future .net contract, including the proposed fee structure (?), to be published in the draft and final RFPs. It will form part of the cover letter for the report on the .net criteria. There was little discussion on the substance of this; procedurally, there was considerable confusion: Only some council members had received the proposal prior to the call. One joined as late as during the vote, and didn’t even know what it was all about. The vote was then cast as instructed by the single representative of the same constituency who had attended the entire call.MP3 recording here.
