| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 01:53) I used the feed from cairo last night |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 01:54) Hey Joop |
| <makolee> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 01:54) DuranGoodyear: he hasn't left.. i've popped in and out a couple of times today.. :) |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 01:54) Mako: I see him. |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 01:54) ErinPettigrew: I use a windows IRC client instead of the Java interface... it gives me a lot more options |
| <JoopTeernstra> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 01:54) hello all |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 01:54) ah ha |
| <makolee> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 01:54) JoopTeernstra: hello again Joop |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 01:55) ErinPettigrew: if you want I can talk you through setting it up... I have it shared on my computer here on the local network |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 01:55) meg-how do we address q's to the assembly? |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 01:55) (don't think meg is here) on the page with the real video links |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 01:55) at the bottom of it |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 01:55) that would be good. i am a little overwhelmed with my technical incapabilities at the moment |
| <makolee> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 01:55) ErinPettigrew: you can discuss stuff here and actually ask people.. but there is a an actual "submit question" link on the participate page |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 01:55) right. |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 01:56) ErinPettigrew: was that a yes? |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 01:56) i see it |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 01:56) duran is tying up my line now |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 01:56) sorry guys, I got her first |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 01:56) like you got me |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 01:57) ok, so, she got me, but this isn't the alt.dating.teen.sex.college.relationships line... |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 01:58) two brens? |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 01:58) for the price of one |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 01:58) there can be only one |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 01:58) poor erin |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 01:59) duran |
| <makolee> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:00) there are several people who ip ranges the same as Meg's.. are BeccaNesso and JohnWilban in Cairo? |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:00) she should try mirc, it might be easier. |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:00) yeah, I'm going to go help her. |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:00) back later |
| <JoopTeernstra> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:01) o.k. I'll be back a little later, too |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:03) why am i not getting any conversation? |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:03) i just see my own comments on the screen here |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:03) ErinPettigrew: no conversation going on |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:03) now i am getting it |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:03) that was weird |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:04) ErinPettigrew: is Duran asctually coming over there? |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:04) i guess |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:04) lol |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:04) yeah. |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:04) duran to the rescue! |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:05) (or something) |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:05) it is kind of insulting |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:05) ErinPettigrew: I could have talked you through it on the phone... would've taken 2 minutes tops |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:05) i have to go open the door for him now..... |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:05) lol |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:06) yeah ariel, but I'm here now, so it's all good. |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:06) = duran |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:06) has it started yet? |
| <makolee> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:07) baptista: not just yet.. |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:10) alright, a real chat server |
| <Choob> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:10) Hello Hampshire College |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:11) They just announced that we will start soon |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:13) hehe... funny seeing meg from thousands of miles away... *GRIN* |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:14) we are rolling... |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:14) They aren't supposed to show me! |
| <Choob> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:15) Is anyone agreeing with what the webcast is....saying... |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:15) certainly true ariel |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:15) What she's saying right now is clouded with politics |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:16) thanks. |
| <Choob> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:16) That's pretty vague |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:17) Please let us know if you experience technical difficulties |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:17) That's often the only way we know to fix things |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:17) whoa. where is the camera going? |
| <Choob> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:18) The camera seems to be following the black jackets who are carrying the trays :) |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:18) aren't they the important people? |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:19) hehe... yeah... we will take membership but we won't let members do anything with it |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:19) We're down a camera person this morning |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:19) what lag is he reffering to? |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:20) Who actually recognizes ICANN as any sort of authority over the internet? |
| <Choob> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:20) Did any of you go for registering for the At-Large Membership? |
| <Choob> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:20) good call bren |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:20) Lots of governments now recognize ICANN |
| <makolee> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:20) Choob: ya.. i did |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:20) i did too |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:20) which ones? asll western-industrial? |
| <Choob> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:20) governments aren't the internet. people are |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:20) yeah |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:20) No, lots of smaller places, too |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:20) yeah... but recognize it as what? and just how much power do they conceed? |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:20) People are the Internet, but many have never heard of ICANN |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:21) And it's not clear the others will get involved even if they do hear |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:21) besides the top-level domain name allocation? |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:21) and 30% of Americans of voting age vote |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:21) Top-level domain name allocation may be all many governments conceed |
| <Choob> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:21) that's the problem with ICANN. I was talking about the meetings with a few people today. Not a single person I spoke to even knew ICANN existed, even CARED.. |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:21) But that question can be a narrow or broad one |
| <Choob> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:21) 7% voted in primaries, Ariel |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:22) How many of you voted in the last election for which you were eligible? |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:22) Choob: not many do, and hpefully not many ever will. |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:22) i voted. |
| <makolee> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:22) Choob: 7% of internet users ARE NOT registered for ICANN at-large membership.. NOT EVEN CLOSE |
| <Choob> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:22) I wasn;t of age |
| <makolee> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:23) MegSmith: i did |
| <Choob> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:23) I wasn't talking about ICANN when I referred to the 7%..that was concerning the presidential primaries, but that's another topic |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:23) I spammed everyone I knew to register for ICANN, which few probably did |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:23) But that's one way to spread the word, and even if only three of the people I contacted did |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:24) That's a pretty speedy way to get the word out |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:24) yeah, but what will being a member end up getting you? |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:24) That's not yet clear -- but not being a member clearly won't get it for you |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:24) Ok. i"m back |
| <makolee> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:24) MegSmith: and you are intimtaely involved.. if slashdot hadn't posted it.. i wouldn't have heard.. well you mailed me but.. |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:24) I refuse to register for at large, because that gives a nod to general support of ICANN. |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:24) What would you prefer over ICANN? |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:24) from my perspective what it ends up doing is giving that much more creedance to ICANN which may or may not server the community |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:25) does registering to vote give a nod to the us govt? |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:25) meg - your comments about voting are invalid - statistics do not make elections |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:25) i dont see that as being a very productive way of thinking about it |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:25) It can be difficult to distinguish between passivity and passive resistance |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:25) I don't know that I have an alternative that I like but that doesn't mean there isn't reason to create an alternative... ICANN began with too much power and seems to have too little accountability |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:25) status quo. I conceed that ICANN should should handle TLD stuff, but it seems to be leaning toward some sort of governing structure, and I don't agree that there's any value to any sort of internet governance. |
| <jessicanelson> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:25) alex, hj(aaron), and jessica here, waddup my homies? |
| <makolee> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:26) MegSmith: although the idea of slashdot readers making up the dominanant political force (although I would CERTAINLY NOT argue that ICANN at-large membership is that) is a fun and cool concept (hey, it's people like me!) i still think that is scary as well |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:26) hey kids |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:26) makolee: lol |
| <makolee> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:27) ArielZusyaBenjamin: I really buy into and love RMS.. but i'm kinda glad i'm in a minority |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:27) i am having a difficult time understanding this guy |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:27) Erin: (above) yes, but I'm ok with recognizing my government, it does things for me. I am a citizen. I don't want to be a "citizen of the internet" |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:27) okay. valid |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:27) Meg, is the scribes notes in progress? |
| <makolee> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:28) my realvideo keeps segfaulting.. :) cute.. |
| <Choob> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:28) Judging from the way people responded to the rotiseree question about being "citizens" of the net, I don't think very many of us find it to be valid in an entity like cyberspace |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:28) The presentation isn't being scribed because there are documents that will go up that express it |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:28) And because we're experiencing a few technical difficulties! |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:28) ok |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:28) Back shortly |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:29) Why is the Berkman Center so gung-ho about ICANN, anyway? |
| <Choob> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:29) Hey. Did anyone notice that one of the sponsors behind these people (microsoft...) |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:29) yeah, and a bunch of other fun corp power structures.. |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:29) hmmm... fishy.. |
| <makolee> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:29) Choob: i argued that the real world concept of 'citizen' was not really applicable to the internet.. i wouldn't say that locking people out is the answer.. you can have something LIKE a citizen and i think that's important.. it just needs to be reinvented |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:29) why not? it's in their best interest. |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:30) (to choob, above) |
| <Choob> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:30) How? Do you make up a new definition for it? |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:30) yeah, amko, what do you mean? |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:30) BTW, my role in here is to moderate (to an extent) and to play devil's advocate from time to time |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:30) I'm sorry, who is choob? |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:31) Not to defend ICANN or necessarily to propound my own views |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:31) Although I don't pretend not to have them! |
| <makolee> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:32) i don't have the end all answer.. i wish i did.. i think that like meatspace government, there probably isn't one.. but there are concepts that will work better than others and i believe that just transfering or translated the meatspace concept of citizen to cyberspace is naive and probably on the bad-idea side |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:32) I think we should focus on what is being broadcast - root servers are the key to the operation of the internet - and anyone with half a brain can setup a root server system - which means if ICANN pisses off the world - they can be easily replaced. ICANN's sole control of the DNS involves root servers, and the fact they can be replaced - means ICANN can have competition. All of the other political arguments are bogus |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:33) well put, baptista. |
| <jessicanelson> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:33) our connection keeps timing out |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:33) have any of you visited the other root server systems - their not well organizaed but they exists |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:33) nope |
| <makolee> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:33) baptista: i heard someone talking about bind today.. what percentage of the world uses up-to-date versions of bind? if someone were to add additional root servers to bind (which is open source), there'd be a foot in the door (jc42 who was here last night suggested that) |
| <jessicanelson> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:33) no, but id like more info about them. |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:33) We're having some problems -- mornings can be tough |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:34) there she is. she's not the speaker. |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:34) jun murai's presentation is now online |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:34) and linked off the agenda |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:34) all versions of bind on the internet are vulnerable - as of the last bind survey. |
| <cccccc> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:35) what about the upcoming BIND 9 |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:35) what was the url she just gave? something.icann.org? |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:35) ahh... but that's just it... not only are they not well organized they are also not terribly well liked by the powers that be... I hate to say it but I have very little faith in the grassroots powers on the net as they are right now... the big corps can still pull the plug... so to speak... ICANN also has a tremendous amount of power because they are recognized by governments all over the world |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:35) here a link which include other root server confederations http://bind1999.pccf.net/resources/whos-who/ |
| <JoopTeernstra> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:35) the url was www.aso.icann.org |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:36) Her presentation will up shortly and the URL will be in it |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:36) bind 9 is untested - i usually wait till the bugs are out |
| <makolee> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:36) baptista: but making a change to bind, how long would that take to make a big effect.. to essentially add alternative root server support to a large enough number of DNS machines that it catches on and people start to see the benefit.. it's not a lot of investment to make the switch usually.. |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:36) aso status report is up |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:36) the ASO link off the agenda doesn't work |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:36) http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/icann/cairo/archive/as0-status-0309.html |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:37) the what page? |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:38) so, meg, whats the weather like there? |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:38) cairo |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:38) it's irrelevant that the other root server operators are either not liked - the question is service which ICANN is seriously lacking in - the other question is choice - also lacking in ICANN. Some day a major corporation is going to figure out that it worth while to run root servers for the public - and the day one of those corporations start paying dns admins to run off their root - is the day icann goes plonk. Just one of many senarios |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:38) oh |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:38) It's been chillier than I expected |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:38) But since I spend all my time in a room with no windows |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:38) I could just as easily be in Boston |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:39) this is the end of the rainy season there which is winter there |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:39) we're expecting 70-80s tomorrow here |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:39) Meg - I think the rules I saw on the bot was that this conference be kept relevant - the weather in cairo is not relevant. Excuse me for pointing that out |
| <JoopTeernstra> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:40) Do you know that only two comments have been made with regards to the IRP? |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:40) Babtista: I apologize, I was just trying to pass the time as they were setting up their browser |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:40) does this reveiw panel not exist at this point? |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:40) or is it being revised? |
| <JoopTeernstra> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:40) No it does not exist and there is no timeline to call it into exoistence |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:40) thats awsome |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:40) then who is providing oversight? |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:40) I know - no accusation Duran - people always drift - it's just I have to read through it - i'm not always on this screen - and it bogs things down |
| <makolee> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:41) baptista: unless ICANN adds gTLDs and essentially offers your pay-for-dns corps.. then they beat their potential competitors |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:41) babtista: understood |
| <JoopTeernstra> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:41) there is no ovewrsight, except for seroius law-breaking . This is up the the AG of California |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:41) damn realy player |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:42) why doe the independent review panel members must be law oriented. doesn't that seem like misrepresentation? |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:42) yes - that can be done - but I suggest ICANN is incapable based on the corporate restrictions which exists - they are basically an IBM deal oriented solely at protecting trademarks |
| <Choob> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:42) Erin: Thanks. |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:42) I'll get on the link |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:42) thx |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:42) Offically oversight is from the NTIA/DOC |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:42) they have failed in their oversight |
| <makolee> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:42) baptista: we'll see.. aren't they supposed to talk about that late today? |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:42) so they really have no power anyway. they can just "declare". what ever that means |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:43) but what is power? |
| <JoopTeernstra> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:43) Erin, I think it needs legal training to pin wrongdoing on the Board. |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:43) how so? is all wrong doing in violation of law? |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:43) i don't know - by the way - people - don't send me private message - i always reply in public and i'm sure were confusing the hord |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:44) yipes. |
| <JoopTeernstra> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:44) Ben, can the public comments be read out. I mean the one already in the comments area on the Icann website? |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:44) I'm not sure how closely Ben is following this right now (he's scribing) but I'll check with him |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:44) yes - ICANN is a toothless monster - but not enought of the world knows that - currently there are 200,000 dns admins world wide - and they are the people who by default run the internet. |
| <JoopTeernstra> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:44) Erin, the IRP looks specially at violations of icanns own bylaws. |
| <BenEdelman> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:45) Joop, that's a good idea but not something we've ever talked about. |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:45) ASO report is working now, my fault...typo in the link... |
| <BenEdelman> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:45) Will try to do so in th efuture, if I know about such comments in advance. |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:46) joop- of course but those bylaws represent the concerns of all sorts of people |
| <jessicanelson> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:46) IIfthe IRPis reviewingthepanel themselves,then howis itthat the governing board can elect or even nominate a review board that is supposed to be independent |
| <JoopTeernstra> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:46) Ben, the comkments are there. On the website.http://www.icann.org/mbx/indreview/ |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:46) i am not sure that i want to see internet leadership held in the hands of solely lawyers |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:46) aggreed |
| <Choob> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:46) hahah |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:46) There are no comments in the queue at this point |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:46) depends on the lawyer |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:46) surely. |
| <JoopTeernstra> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:46) It's not about leadership, it's a check on the Board. |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:47) You might want to make your substantive points |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:47) beware netscape users |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:47) using the comment submission system |
| <makolee> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:47) 25? wow.. it was 8 last time i checked.. and they weren't both ways.. |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:47) personally I don't like the future of the internet being held in the hands of any small group |
| <BenEdelman> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:47) If you've made a comment in some other forum, other than our remote comment system, you should submit at least a reference to that comment via our comment submission system. |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:47) the link off the agenda post doesn't work in Netscape |
| <BenEdelman> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:47) What's the problem with Netscape? |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:47) IE only |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:47) which is used to put comments onto the floor |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:47) rather than using the informal chat |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:47) yeah. and lawyers are the only people capable of making such a judgment? |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:47) which is just archived and never used on the floor... |
| <JoopTeernstra> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:47) John, I have taken the trouble to make the substantive points on the comments area. Now I find this ignored. |
| <Choob> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:47) Does it work with Mozilla, the links, I mean |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:48) joop, there's not much I can do about that |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:48) Joop, were the comments made yesterday? |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:48) as that's up to the BoD |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:48) but if you make them through our system |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:48) I can say "yes" when they ask me if there are any online comments |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:48) Duran, which link? |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:48) instead of telling them that no one has submitted anything |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:48) which is the case today |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:48) Still the ASO, hmm |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:49) I will fix the ASO so Netscape can view it |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:49) ok |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:49) but was more concerned with getting our audio links running first |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:49) no problem |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:49) so we have that backup if the net goes down |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:49) as it did yesterday |
| <JoopTeernstra> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:49) John, this is infuriating! We have been asked to maker comments PRIOR to Cairo, so that they can be answered. Now we find it ignored! |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:50) Joop, I promise that we are not the bottleneck |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:50) Joop, that's really not anything we can impact |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:50) Joop - you should know better - the boards business is to ignore you and anyone else outside the magic circul |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:50) ok... then who is? |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:50) ooh, he is changing hats |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:50) we can only process real-time comments |
| <JoopTeernstra> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:50) Can I still get my comment on the IRP in , then?? |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:50) sure, just submit it. |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:50) it's already missed the comment time for the topic |
| <JoopTeernstra> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:51) They passed the agenda item |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:51) but there is an open comment period at the end of the day |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:51) where it can be read |
| <JoopTeernstra> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:51) At the end of your day, I will be asleep, sorry |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:51) but your comment won't. |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:51) if you submit it |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:51) right? |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:52) can't hurt, and at least it'll show in the public archive |
| <JoopTeernstra> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:52) O.K. Can you pick up the comments on the ICANN website on behalf of those who posted them? |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:52) here comes the budget - for years the root-servers have been run on 600,000 US$ - let's see how they streached that to 5 million |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:52) not right now - am more than a little busy - but I can at the very least link to them |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:52) ok for now? |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:53) if no one submits comments, it certainly lends credence |
| <JoopTeernstra> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:53) Yes, I don't mean right now, but at the end of the day, when comments are made in open forum. I would like to know the answer of the Board , though |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:54) sorry, mis-wrote - lack of comments indicates apathy |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:54) at best |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:54) and when people search for the public archive of meetings, which are the easiest way to do quick and dirty research |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:54) Or agreement |
| <JoopTeernstra> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:55) I want it to be on record, that the method of submitting comment was made unnecesarily difficult, this time. This perhaps explains why onlt two coments made it to the website. |
| <Choob> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:55) People who don't even know that this meeting went on will not be searching any public archieves |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:55) which "is" the method, sorry, for research |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:55) Joop, are you referring to ICANN's public comment process or |
| <Choob> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:55) And sadly enough, that is a LOT of people. |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:55) apathy on who's part? If you're talking about the internet community as a whole I think that's completely unfair... most internet users have no idea what ICANN is or what it does |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:55) to the method by which comments come in during public meetings? |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:55) chood, you'd be shocked how many people hit our records |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:55) and how many of them are reporters |
| <JoopTeernstra> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:56) I am really angry. Comments are not only there for the record, they also require a public reply |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:56) who educate those who don't know what's going on |
| <Choob> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:56) Thanks, Ariel. That is precisely my point |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:56) and if your comments aren't there |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:56) they won't see them |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:56) and won't know what you think |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:56) JohnWilbanks - will the budget be posted before they start discussing it? Is it possible to have the documents now |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:56) joe, hold on |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:57) am checking |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:57) ok |
| <Choob> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:57) John...you'd be shocked if you knew how many people don't care very much for the media system intact |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:57) but they should be on the icann web already |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:57) choob, I'm not exactly naive |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:57) is that budget going up on the agenda? |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:57) but you'd be shocked how many people swallow it whole |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:57) theres a lot more of them |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:57) i was wondering if you could link them to the agenda |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:57) than there are of us |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:57) joe, going to try it. |
| <Choob> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:58) The question is....the NUMBER of people who "hit these records"....is it a representation of the populus of who has internet acess. |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:58) thanks John |
| <Choob> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:58) John...don't argue media politics, please. That's not the issue. What poeple decide to believe is their own business. |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:58) The press who access them can reach people who aren't online |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:58) Which is vital since the digital divide is very real |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:58) But what happens online does impact those who aren't |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:59) alright... I buy that... but what press is represented? is the NY Times there? CNN? who's there? |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:59) Well, the NYT is here, but I don't know about CNN |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:59) I presume the budget is coming up? |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:59) And even those who aren't here can read/watch the archive |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 02:59) And also pick up info from stories from those who were here |
| <makolee> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:00) MegSmith: what kind of tech press is there? |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:00) dns is not sexy enough for the press yet. It's a complicated issue which seems to evade most of the press corp |
| <Choob> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:00) Like I've said before, people who don't know that something exists will not be reseraching it |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:00) The Industry Standard is here, and I believe Wired is as well |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:00) so. budget info? is it going to come up on the agenda? |
| <makolee> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:00) baptista: i think that unfortunately, dns is not even sexy enough for a lot of the 200,000 people doing DNS to REALLY care about either |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:00) I would contend that that means it will not be in the mainstream press... it may make it into the NYT but probably be somewhere in the way back... the average user will still be completely in the dark |
| <Choob> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:00) Things that are going on here will manage to escape a vast number of people, even the daily AOL user |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:00) ICANN was on SlashDot yesterday, which isn't exactly press but fulfills a similarfunction |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:01) The budget will be linked but not quite yet |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:01) fennello does alot of press work - he's very critical of them |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:01) thx |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:01) if ICANN is really serious about at large membership they should be buying banner space on Yahoo |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:02) or the like |
| <makolee> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:02) MegSmith: slashdot is press.. and the regsiter.. those are sources that reach people who are motivated enough to DO SOMETHING with ICANN |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:02) There was much discussion yesterday about the need for outreach and public education |
| <JoopTeernstra> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:02) Yes, I read the slashdot discussions, but it only shows how little most slashdotters really know about icann |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:02) And the problem of how to pay for it |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:02) You have all noticed the corporate sponsorship icons on the signs |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:02) oh yeah |
| <Choob> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:02) Don't worry, many of us did |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:03) If you believe that something like ICANN is necessary (and I know not all do) |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:03) I think the best potential root server operators would be monks. Monasteries have throughtout the centuries been excellent transcribers - and that is perfect training for dns |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:03) Then there is the question of how it is to pay for its own activities |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:04) am waiting for the link to the authoritative budget schedule |
| <Choob> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:04) That seems to be another general problem with what has been being discussed. Though there has been a "non-commercial constinuency" represented, there has been a lot of emphasis on businesses and commercial interests |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:04) Business and commercial interests have been the fastest to get involved |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:04) Probably because their interest in doing so is clearest |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:04) yeah... monks are great... if you're of that faith... don't even get me started on the damage certain monks of certain faiths did to certain religions and cultures |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:05) <http://www.icann.org/financials/cairo-fy00-01-budget-issue.htm> is the link you folks want |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:05) the non-commercial constintuency is a joke. They only allow membership to trusted organizations. |
| <makolee> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:05) MegSmith: but their involvement falls short of financial contribution.. or at least on nay serious scale or we wouldn't be in this situation |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:05) I'll get it onto the agenda ASAP |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:05) big business is getting involved because ICANN has given them the green light to virtually buy governing power |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:05) and I'm not arguing media politics, |
| <Choob> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:05) That's the problem, baptista |
| <JoopTeernstra> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:05) Ben,, I have reposted my comments re the IRP now into the live comments system. I would very much like to hear that question answered. |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:05) I'm arguing that it's worthwhile to make archived comments |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:05) rather than in chat |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:05) joop, that comment missed the agenda period |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:05) but I will raise it in the open comment period |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:06) at the end of the day |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:06) and it will be archived |
| <JoopTeernstra> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:06) Meg. The day before yesterday. This was as per special request on the icann pages. |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:06) when the press folks who AREN'T here |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:06) search our archives |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:06) 'cause they definitely won't search an unofficial chatr archive |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:06) IBM is the main culpret in this - you can check the ICANN corporate control processes at http://cookreport.com/isoccontrol.shtml |
| <BenEdelman> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:07) Joop, remember that comments made in ICANN's public comment systems (as hosted on their web site) are considered separately by the ICANN Board and staff. |
| <Choob> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:07) So what is the point of making an archieve of what any of us say here? |
| <BenEdelman> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:07) This remote comment system is for *real-time* comments. |
| <BenEdelman> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:07) They take comments via multiple systems -- in person at meetings, |
| <BenEdelman> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:07) online via meeting webcasts, |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:08) choob: so that everything that *we* do is public |
| <BenEdelman> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:08) online via non-real-time comment systems. |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:08) during the course of these meetings |
| <Choob> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:08) we....... |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:08) It's important to ICANN because they consider comments part of the bottom up process - the comments however are never taken seriously - that's the boards track record to date |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:08) the Berkman Center is *we* |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:08) But the official system for submitting comments |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:09) is clearly indicated on the broadcast page |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:09) Mako, the business interests have offered to pay larger than their proportionate (by working group or other measure) share, from what I understand |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:09) and if you look at the text that welcomes you to the chat room |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:09) you'll get all the information I just gave you. |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:09) But there is resistance to them doing so for some (imho) pretty good reasons |
| <JoopTeernstra> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:09) Ben, I hear what you say, about the Board "considering" comments, but in a public process, I, and many others, want to hear public replies |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:09) Joop, point well taken. |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:10) But what Berkman is doing here is realtime comments for the meeting |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:10) Joop, I don't think Ben (or John or I) disagree with you, but no one from Berkman has any say in that |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:10) the cyber equivalent of administrating the microphones and the lines for accessing them |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:10) as well as getting the video and audio to you |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:10) so you can follow along in realtime |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:10) instead of either reading a trasncript |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:10) transcript |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:10) We pass comments submitted during meetings along when we are asked for them, but that's all we can do |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:10) or watching a video online a week later |
| <JoopTeernstra> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:10) Ben, used to draw the attention to comments, to be read out by whoever was conducting the meeting. |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:11) we don't get to decide what gets read |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:11) You could submit a comment to be read aloud that says some of this |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:11) brb |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:11) The Board now gets constant updates on whether comments are pending |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:12) You don't hear the updates, but they see them |
| <JoopTeernstra> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:12) would they be willing to go back to the IRP? |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:12) and the board chooses which ones get read aloud |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:12) joop, I doubt it seriously. |
| <JoopTeernstra> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:12) Yes, so do I. |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:12) I don't know -- I think they are trying to stay on the budget now |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:12) the root-servers cost 600,000 US under postel. paid for by US Gov contract. Those are the facts - ester likes to rewrite facts |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:12) just my honest opinion |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:12) But there will be a general comment period later |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:13) and after all of this, joop's is STILL the only official comment... |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:13) Argh |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:13) so anyone reading the archive of comments |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:13) would have no idea that any of you |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:13) have opinions of any sort |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:13) on any of this. |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:13) and that's clearly not the case. |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:14) Or that any of the people watching but not chatting have any thoughts, either |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:14) are there costs for other commitees and constituencies? |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:14) you all have substantive comments |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:14) Yes! |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:14) that deserve archving |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:14) John - no one cares anymore. ICANN has lost considerable support - it showed in Santiago - it showed itself in LA and now it's at an all time low today |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:14) There are costs for everything ICANN does -- John Postel operated as a volunteer |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:14) yet you've not taken advantage of the only system |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:14) that will make an easily accessible record of them. |
| <JoopTeernstra> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:14) If I had known that the archived comments , with password and the works, would be ignored, I would have made the comment right in the meeting |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:14) right, but if you are on the board, you pay a fee? |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:14) But those days are gone, which makes sense since the Internet is so much bigger |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:15) No, you don't pay a fee to be on the board |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:15) Postel was paid under contract for his work - yes he volunteered alot mainly as the RFC editor - let' |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:15) joe, I'm not sure ICANN is well-enough known to lose support |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:15) well, then why would you have to pay for a vote? |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:15) that seems really contradictory |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:15) You don't pay for a vote, you have to pay to run an election |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:15) Elections cost money to put on |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:15) right. got it |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:16) Especially if you run them such that identities are authenticated |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:16) The support it has lost is mainly from the intellectual community and the technical community - it has lost the support it needs to pull off the trick. One major mistake and it's the skids. |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:16) I'm going to drop out for a bit |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:16) and make that ASO report accessible to the non microsofties |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:16) k? |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:16) and erin, thanks for submitting a comment! |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:17) when will it get submitted? |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:17) John - just letting you know the budget is not yet linked. If anyone has a URL - i'd like to see it. |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:17) JW is working on links, and I'll remind him about this one |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:17) But he's not reading this right now |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:17) thanks Meg |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:19) yes! aggreed |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:19) who's the face we're looking at now? anyone know? |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:19) proportionality and equity = is ICANN speak for divid and concour |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:19) hhe he |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:19) nice. video is out of sinc |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:19) Erin, you're being read |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:19) jerry berman? |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:19) scary |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:20) Woo hoo! |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:20) NICE |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:20) that was Michael Roberts - President - sponsored by IBM - former associate of Educase - which want to run .edu and former Navy Intellegence man |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:20) see what I mean? |
| <Choob> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:20) Go Erin! |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:20) it's a little better to use the system |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:20) VERY NICE ERIN! well put |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:20) I don't think they gave you the answer you deserve, but you were heard! |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:21) what... |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:21) well, that sucked |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:21) man... |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:21) that sucked |
| <Choob> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:21) How smarmy |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:21) ghhh... |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:21) They want to alternate online with physically present comments |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:21) all we can do is read it |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:21) they were both unclear and shallow in their response |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:21) but if you submit it, at least we can read it |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:21) Oh, I understand that it's not your fault. |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:21) So speak up -- we can't change how they answer, but their answers may speak for themselves |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:21) If you know what I mean |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:21) he he he |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:22) I'm upset at the board memebers, for making a response that was short, hard to hear and kinda stupid... |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:22) joe: here's the poop on the budget |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:22) for lack of a better term |
| <Choob> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:22) It's offensive! |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:22) that's standard ICANN board proceedure |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:22) the link I gave here is the official document |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:23) and I will get it linked off of agenda now |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:23) the woman you see is ester - chair of the board - venture capital investor - has yet to make a dime - publishes a successful guide for venture capitalists |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:23) http://www.icann.org/financials/cairo-fy00-01-budget-issue.htm was that link |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:23) thank you meg |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:24) amen to that. |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:25) what was that link? |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:25) budget |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:26) wow. that's very little money |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:26) the budget is a joke - again thier trying to get money from cctlds - and most simply don't have it, unless they charge disproportionately based on cctld sales - and i don't think that will do it either. |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:26) did that guy just say that the entire ccTLD constituency was willing to voulenteer their services? |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:27) not sure if I caught it right... |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:27) are those numbers in thousands? |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:27) You have a lag so I'm not sure which numbers you are referring to |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:28) the budget, right? |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:28) The Wired article discussed earlier is at http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,34754,00.html |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:28) I think their straight up 1=1 |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:28) yes - thousands |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:28) I would guess because the total budget is in the low millions |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:28) oh, never mind. |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:29) The WHOIS problem mentioned was discussed extensively in LA |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:31) how about disccusing the costs of registering |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:31) In what sense? |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:31) ok, I'm uploading support for all browsers for the ASO reports |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:31) why pay $70 dollars to NSI or like company, when all it is is just making a database entry |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:31) but that makes for huge files/numbers of files |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:31) so it's taking a minute |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:31) it's also why murai's didn't get up veru quickly |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:31) correct. but 70 dollars per domain? |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:31) Allowing lots of registrars to register names was intended to increase market pressure and therefore lower prices |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:32) when that load is done I will link the budget to the agenda |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:32) Meg: uh huh. |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:32) anything else you folks desire? |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:32) coffee? tea? :) |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:32) duran - I'll see what I can do... |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:32) Many people still look only to NSI without price shopping |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:32) thought this is java |
| <Dassa> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:32) :) |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:32) So NSI hasn't felt that much price pressure yet |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:32) badabing, I'm here all week |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:32) he he he |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:33) My thought is, that it seems for a long while NSI and others have been able to charge basicly what ever they want, and no one asked why, and so. |
| <Dassa> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:33) Have seen prices down to $15 a year for domains. |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:33) while it costs much less to pay a team to monitor a database. |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:33) how many new domains are registered per day? |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:34) I don't know the latest statistics |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:34) hundreds of thousands |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:34) I think the registers should pay a fee per domain regeisterd to ICANN or what ever oversight firm takes ICANN's place. |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:34) but, that goes against it's 'no-taxation' clause... |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:34) ok, ASO is uploaded |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:34) Got to go take some photos -- back soon |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:35) amadeua - the long winded one - let's see how long this goes on for. he's been getting better |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:35) hey, at least he's wearing a suit now |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:36) that was very short - i've been bested |
| <AlexKreit> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:36) alex, jessicaq, and aaron are back in the house |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:36) yo, yo. |
| <AlexKreit> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:37) we are experiencing technical difficulties with the web cast, it is a bummer. |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:37) use the cairo feed |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:38) the thrid one down |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:38) i just submitted another comment |
| <AlexKreit> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:38) but at least we can participate in this lively discussion. |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:39) me too, but mine is far too cynical to be read. |
| <AlexKreit> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:39) im still upset about the no profinity rule |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:40) brenen, got your comment |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:40) yeah. i think that they are probably sick of me already |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:40) cynical is good - remember - your in a historical chat session |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:40) but it's out of order |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:40) i know ;) |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:40) so I'll save it til we get to at large memberhsip |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:40) ok. thanks. |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:40) good to see the messages |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:40) I will make sure the board knows about them |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:40) when they are timely with the agenda |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:40) fair enough? |
| <AlexKreit> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:40) (btw, that was alex, HJ and jessica dont wish to be associated with theprofanity comment.) |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:40) IPC = lawyers = money |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:41) has paid its share? |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:41) what does that mean? |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:41) thanks John. |

| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:47) the video and audio are out of sinc for me, but other wise, no |
| <AlexKreit> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:47) hmm... we dont have any video or audio. |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:47) what feed are you using? |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:48) and what version of the software are you using? |
| <ArielZusyaBenjamin> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:48) are you using G2? |
| <AlexKreit> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:48) the augmented one, it was working fiune till qabout 10 minutes ago. |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:48) just use the one from cairo |

| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:50) erin, we have receive five substantive messages, only one of which (your first one) was submitted during the time of the meeting it addressed |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:51) great |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:51) there should be more |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:51) who is staying up for the next session? |
| <bren-afk> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:52) john: how many people are in attendance (not NOW) but for the last session? |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:52) the others are in the queue |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:52) beats me |
| <bren-afk> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:52) I'm sticking around for this one, erin. |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:52) the room was about 3/4 full |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:52) but I spend nearly all of my time staring at screens |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:52) lol |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:52) and putting out tech fires |

| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:55) it works! |
| <ThomasLowenhaupt> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:58) I'm in NYC and only receiving intermittantly - otheres having the same problem. No reception now. |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:59) Thomas, thanks for letting us know |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 03:59) We'll get working on it \ |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:00) We're on a break so it will be only random static audio anyway |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:00) html scribe notes are current |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:00) I was spending too much time here |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:00) and not doing my job right |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:00) so you won't hear from me quite as much... |
| <ThomasLowenhaupt> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:00) I was doing audio only - that went out. then I tried video and picked it up for about three minutes, apparently just after the session broke. |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:01) i'm getting audio and video |
| <ThomasLowenhaupt> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:01) Now nothing and I'm going back to audio only. |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:01) Thomas - are you using the LA servers? |
| <ThomasLowenhaupt> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:02) Not sure now. Which one are you receiving on? |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:02) the audio is back online now |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:02) was an issue with the phone line |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:02) try berkman http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/scripts/rammaker.asp?s=ip&ip=212.103.165.8&dir=live&file=icann-live-030900 |
| <KeithDavidson> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:03) Hello all |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:03) hey |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:03) a man of many hats - mike roberts - do you know the ICANN board was terrified of walking into the Santiago meetings and finding people wearing pretty hats |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:04) we gotcha. |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:04) 6000? that's it? |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:04) 6000, what? |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:04) 6,000 - is good - the next question is how will these people communicate with each other. But 6,000 in a few weeks is excellent. |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:04) true. |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:05) 6,000 at large members |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:05) ok |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:05) thx |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:05) listen to the man, duran. ;) |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:05) sorry, info burn, to many windows |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:05) see http://members.icann.org/ |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:07) FYI, you can always see the full set of comments received |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:07) from the broadcast page |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:07) in the "how to READ" section |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:07) comments that are current with the agenda |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:07) can be accessed under "current substantive comments" |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:08) the links just below that one consist of all substantive and non-substantive |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:08) comments received for the whole meeting |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:08) Given the earlier conversation here about what membership would mean |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:08) Mike is speaking about me - mischievious behaviour = ICANN speak for bypassing their censorhsip garbage on the GA. They were really pissed with that. |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:09) This discussion of membership requirements and outreach should be of interest to you all |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:10) i did my part |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:10) is the feed choppy for all of you too? |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:11) oh. so women are onlyinterested in "everday stuff". nice |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:11) :) |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:11) over 60, good luck, my grand mom, (65) just got an answering machine... |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:12) whoa, not 65, 75...ooops.. :) |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:12) my computer is dying on me, I h ave to reboot, god loves Micro$oft. |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:13) people misbehaving - i hope their not going to fall into a trap |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:13) i dont remember... did they profile on race? |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:13) no |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:14) huh |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:14) age, gender, and domain ownership. |
| <KeithDavidson> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:14) Thats interesting - ICANN could have suggested the PIN numbers haven't been posted yet on their web site |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:15) if mike robert does not mail me my membership - to the provided address - i'm going to do to members.icann what i did to the ga@dnso - fair warning - you berkman boys make sure he gets that - roberts understand the nature of mindfields |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:15) huh? |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:15) ditto |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:16) ... I hate my computer... |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:16) it's a long story - i've setup icann to alow it to screw itself up on my membership - roberts will understand |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:16) OK. |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:16) joe, I suggest you inform Mike or Andrew directly |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:16) so, who's head is inthe way? |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:17) can that guy more out of the way? |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:17) move, rather... |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:17) that was meg, wasn't it? |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:17) oh, it's meg... |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:17) recognized the smile :) |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:17) flirt |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:18) i'm not going to bother - it's on the record - and the rest is fun and games, we all remember what happened to the GA - and I can do to ICANN what happened to the GA - destroy it's credibility absolutly. Remeber - i'm not an icann supporter |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:18) fair enough, joe... |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:18) thank you john |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:18) just remember that I ain't ICANN |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:18) :-) |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:18) how are they going to determine who is going to be on the board. on what basis? |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:18) Scott HArshbarger? He's a long way from Commonwealth of MA District Attorney! |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:19) yep. |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:19) career politician and lobbyist. |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:20) I know John - I like you - I don't like the lier, but I still thing he's a cuty - remember - I'm paid to do what I'm doing - it's only a job and not personal. If I call you names - it's because I'm paid to do it ;-) And so far I've stayed away from the more fruity discussions - which seems to make everyone nervous. |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:20) He was the AG and ran for governor and lost |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:20) who pays you, baptista? |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:20) paid baptista? by whom? |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:20) right, my bad. |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:21) dont flatter yourself |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:21) clients are confidential - i do my work openly and don't have any problem with admitting i'm funded to bury icann |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:21) joe, thanks for the words |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:21) and it's appropriate that we stay on topic as much as possible |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:21) your welcome and I agree |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:21) Harshberger there announced a review yesterday that teh CDT gave |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:21) let me get that link |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:21) http://www.cdt.org/dns/icann/study/ |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:22) Thanks, Duran |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:22) I have yet to read it, but I plan on printing it's 40 odd pages tomorrow. |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:22) your welcome |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:22) listen to this man - he's someone I respect - if ICANN does what he is suggesting - my contract on icann is finished. |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:23) who is he? |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:23) Berman is the former Executive Director of EFF and currently with CDT |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:24) oh, john berman? |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:24) Jerry |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:24) oops, thanks |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:24) but, have the 5000 at-large members needed to make quorum recevied their PIN numbers by mail? Is there quorum for elections? |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:24) I havn't received my PIN |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:24) me neither |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:25) i'd like to see who is doing security for their site as well :) |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:25) I think they said earlier that PINs haven't gone out yet |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:25) ok |
| <KeithDavidson> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:25) They just said before that no-one has their PIN yet |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:26) I don't think they are using the company that just did the Arizona primaries |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:26) funny |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:27) well, i'm looking forward to political banner ads for ICANN representative candiadates. I guess they'll be more interesting than "punch the moneky to win $20". |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:27) the ccTLD constituency statment is linked off agenda |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:27) let me know if it doesn't work for any of your clients |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:27) web clients, that is :) |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:27) That was a good speech - ICANN needs free and open election - anything else is garbage - much like what amadeu is saying now |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:27) agreed. |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:27) it's nice to see a range of OS folks online...hasn't happened nearly enough |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:27) at the other meeting |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:28) meetings |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:28) link worked fine on IE and Netscape |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:29) thanks |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:29) JohnWilbanks - did you guys tape the Egyptian PM speech and could we have it online. That would be seriously appreciated. I went to alot of trouble bumping Mubarak off the ICANN agenda and I wanted to see the results and was disappointed when it was not boradcast |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:29) we didn't do anything with that speech - different hotel, and we were setting and testing the tech for these meetings that day... |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:30) ack. |
| <ErinPettigrew> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:30) what is that? |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:30) who's neck? |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:30) well - maybe you can find someone who taped it on video - I think it would be a very important historical document to have in the ICANN archives |
| <KeithDavidson> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:30) a/v is down now... |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:30) it's good for me at hampshire, I'm on the cairo feed. |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:31) keith, what feed were you on? |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:31) btw, html scribe notes are fresh |
| <JoopTeernstra> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:31) who just spoke on the elections? |
| <KeithDavidson> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:31) ICANN Los Angeles John - its back now |
| <JohnWilbanks> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:31) joop, I think you mean Wilkinson |
| <JoopTeernstra> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:32) ah, yes. recognize thew voice now |
| <MegSmith> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:34) If you have thoughts about membership, now would be a great time to submit them |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:35) i did... |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:36) did he just say that having 16 year olds is a mistake? |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:36) lol |
| <JoopTeernstra> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:36) he would like to keep the Board at the present status quo |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:36) ugh. |
| <KeithDavidson> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:37) He said he thought 16 year old directors of ICAN would be a mistake |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:37) if the 16 year old got to a position of recognition by the group to become a director, then why not |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:37) youth brings energy, and inventivness. |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:37) they are terrified of a real presence of directors who are elected by real people - Cohen is terrified of having control loss - the DNSO has already been seriously discredited |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:38) that's why there would be voters, to decide whether or not said 16 year old is capable. |
| <baptista> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:38) youth is irrelevant - what's important is that youth be there. |
| <bren> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:38) i think you are right baptista. |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:38) exactly, and if a 16 year old is competent, then he should be there. |
| <DuranGoodyear> (Thu, March 09, 2000 at 04:38) if so voted. |
