If anyone wishes to complain about this, the fact of the complaint, and who issues is will be very interesting data points. I suggest that the organizers of the July 1-2 meeting should themselves publish this information for open public review, and the fact that they have so far chosen not to do so is a mark against them which may in time damage the whole effort. As with secrecy in governments, such hiding of oganizing information can only breed rumors and diminish credibiliity of all participants.

The principles of the sponsoring associations would be that the meetings would open to all interested stakeholders groups and parties a forum to work on the three primary areas left open in the White Paper: Organization of the New Corporation Dispute Resolution and gTLD Issues Security & Privacy Issues It was agreed that this must be perceived as an open process based on the White Paper and that Jon Postel, representing the current IANA and as a key participant in this process, should be encouraged to participate in all three meetings and might issue a statement supporting this framework of neutral fora. The first meeting with be held 1-2 July in the DC area--the GIAW meeting. The second will be held in Europe, with a preference for EuroISPA, CSSA and other European associations to work with ISOC/INET on that event to be held in Geneva. The third will be held in the Asia/Pacific region, a lead to be taken by APIA. It will be the responsibility of the organizers to ensure that there is an information flow and conduit regarding these meetings, to make publicly available summaries of the workshops, and to make sure that a least some representives from each region attend each event. If additional neutral legal/policy expertise is needed in context of the workshops, for example to support Dr. Frankel at the GIAW, it might be possible to ask the ILPF and APPLe (the Asia Pacific Policy and Legal Forum0 to help locate such moderators. It was agreed that all kinds of mailing lists will be used to facilitate discussion and continued work during and after the workshops. It was proposed that any association which agrees to these principles can become a sponsoring association and will be listed on the webpage(s). The GIAW website will link to European and A/P sites which will have information on those regional meetings. Those on the call agreed in principle to sponsor this framework and will be listed as such when the updated website appears [Thursday]. A Sponsoring Association can participate in the Steering Committee. The steering committee responsibilities are to make sure the events are organized, to draft and coordinate the media advisories, and to facilitate the information flow to the sponsoring associations and stakeholders. Because of the tight schedule for planning, steering committee members must commit doing the work, and supply a proxy with decision-making authority if the appointed rep is not available. The GIAW website is currently being hosted by CIX. The GIAW mailing lists are in the process of being transferred [Tuesday]. CIX has also hired an outside PR firm, Optimum, to answer media calls and be the spokesperson for the sponsors for the GIAW meeting [to be confirmed by Steering Committee]. Some companies and associations have expressed a willingness to contribute to the funding of this organization effort and this will be followed up on immediately. **************************************************************************** ****** Post-call developments Barbara has received written or verbal intention to participate in the Steering Committee from AIM, AIP, CAIP, CIX, Educom and EuroISPA. The first Steering Committee conference call will be scheduled for Thursday 12 noon EST,to give time for more associations, including those who want to participate but could not be on today's call, to join in[sorry Laina]. The call-in number will be sent out Wednesday. The purpose of that call would be to discuss the financing, prepare the elements of a media advisory, and discuss how to create a feedback process for creation of the agenda for the 1-2 July meeting. A draft of the media advisory could be prepared and sent to the sponsoring associations for comment. The steering commitee will incorporate the editorial suggestions for release Friday noon EST. Some thoughts on financing from Barbara: a suggestion would be to ask for a modest amount from the steering committee members and interested company/ad hoc group/coalition supporters, say $2000, with a goal to raise $30,000. ************************************************* June Portch Member Services Commercial Internet eXchange Association 1041 Sterling Road Suite 104A Herndon, VA 20170 Voice: 703.709.8200 Fax: 703.709.5249 ------- End of Forwarded Message -------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- the moderated mailing list of politics and technology To subscribe: send a message to majordomo at vorlon.mit.edu with this text: subscribe politech More information is at http://www.well.com/~declan/politech/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- Logged at Wed Jul 15 02:07:40 MET DST 1998 ---------
