MINUTES OF SPECIAL MEETING

June 23, 1999

Draft posted July 16, 1999
Formal approval October 24, 1999

A meeting of the Board of Directors of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (the "Corporation") was held by teleconference at 6:00am U.S. Pacific Daylight Time on June 23, 1999. Of the initial Directors of the Corporation, the following were present either in person or by telephone: Geraldine Capdeboscq, Gregory L. Crew, Esther Dyson, Frank Fitzsimmons, Hans Kraaijenbrink, Michael Roberts, and Linda Wilson. Directors George Conrades, Jun Murai and Eugenio Triana were absent. Also present on the teleconference were Andrew McLaughlin, Interim Treasurer and CFO of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers; and Joe Sims, Mike Weinberg, Jeff LeVee, and Louis Touton of Jones, Day, Reavis & Pogue. Andrew McLaughlin acted as secretary for the meeting.

The meeting was called to order by Esther Dyson.

APPOINTMENT OF INTERIM SECRETARY

Upon motion duly made and seconded, the Board unanimously adopted the following resolution:

RESOLVED [resolution 99.60], that Andrew McLaughlin be, and hereby is, appointed as Interim Secretary of the Corporation, to serve at the pleasure of the Board and in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation, and shall hold his office until his resignation, removal or other disqualification from service, or until his successor shall be elected and qualified.

RECOGNITION OF DNSO NON-COMMERCIAL DOMAIN NAME HOLDERS CONSTITUENCY GROUP

Andrew McLaughlin reported to the Board that a group of drafters, including affiliates of the Domain Name Rights Coalition, the Internet Society, and ACM, had not yet completed its work on, and thus had not yet submitted to the Board, a new compromise proposal for provisional recognition as the Non-Commercial Domain Name Holders Constituency Group of the DNSO. Mr. McLaughlin noted his understanding that the proposal would be completed and posted for public comment within a week or two. Several Board members discussed the need of the DNSO to have a recognized and functioning constituency group to represent non-commercial interests, and expressed the view that the drafters should be encouraged to submit their proposal as early as possible.

CONSIDERATION OF BYLAWS CHANGES RELATING TO THE gTLD REGISTRY CONSTITUENCY GROUP

Counsel reported that the gTLD registry of the DNSO, contrary to the request of the Board, had declined to name only one member of the Names Council, and, instead, had offered three names. The Board discussed whether, given the clear sentiment of the Internet community as expressed at the Berlin meeting, the Bylaws of the Corporation should be amended to prohibit a constituency from naming more members of the Names Council than there are members of the constituency. The Board directed the president, with the assistance of legal counsel, to prepare, and post for public comment, possible amendments to the Bylaws to address this matter.

LETTER FROM U.S. CONGRESSMAN TOM BLILEY

Mike Roberts reported that ICANN had received a letter from Congressman Tom Bliley, Chairman of the Commerce Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives. Mr. Roberts informed the Board that staff and counsel would be working to prepare responses to Chairman Bliley's questions, and to gather responsive documents from ICANN staff and affiliates.

FORMAT OF ICANN BOARD MEETINGS

In anticipation of the scheduled Santiago meetings in August, the Board discussed possible changes in the format of ICANN's sequence of public and Board meetings. The Board discussed the desirability of accommodating requests from the community for more open access to the Board's deliberations, while still permitting the Board to function effectively. Mr. Roberts suggested that the ICANN staff prepare and present to the Board some specific possible changes to the format of ICANN meetings. The Board agreed to discuss any such recommended changes during its next teleconference.

At this point in the call, Directors Capdeboscq and Wilson departed.

UPDATE ON ROOT SERVER ISSUES

The Board discussed the status of issues relating to the DNS root server system. Mike Roberts updated the Board on the results of the meeting of the Root Server System Advisory Committee in San Jose. Roberts reported that he, Jun Murai, and Suzanne Woolf had had a positive set of discussions with the other root server operators, and that discussions were continuing on the proposed joint research effort to study improvements to the root server system, including the proposal to move the system toward a dedicated primary root server. Roberts stated that ICANN had concluded the Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. Department of Commerce. Roberts stated that ICANN had received helpful suggestions from the root server operators on how to improve and simplify the terms of the proposed Memorandum of Participation, and that ICANN would be incorporating those changes into a revised draft to be circulated among the operators by the end of the week.

The meeting was adjourned at 7:15 Pacific Daylight Time.
