Summary
Board adopts the Reconsideration Committee's recommendation to enhance transparency of telephonic board meetings votes and statements surrounding votes.
Text
Whereas, in its report at the Public Forum on 14 July 2005, the Reconsideration Committee presented a recommendation based on Reconsideration Request 05-1, urging the ICANN Board to consider using real-time scribes to record all Board Meetings (including those Special Meetings held by teleconference).
