Text
In follow up to the previous meetings discussions, and the continued negotiations with the United States Department of Commerce, Dr. Twomey presented to the Board two documents for approval relating to ICANN's role as the private sector manager and ICANN's ongoing relationship with the Untied States Government.
Dr. Twomey outlined the progress that had been made on ICANN's Affirmation of Responsibilities and the board feedback that had gone into changing the agreement since the 9 September 2006 Meeting. The Board Members and staff discussed the Responsibilities in detail. There was discussion about the continued evolution of the document, and the amendment of those policy statements contained therein that might be changed by way of future strategic plans and adopted policies and principles that arising from the community or through the strategic planning that ICANN has committed to act upon on an annual basis.
Dr. Twomey also outlined a new agreement that had been negotiated and been agreed to between ICANN Staff and the NTIA, representing the United States Department of Commerce. A detailed discussion ensued regarding the details of the terms of the Joint Project Agreement and the way that the Affirmation of Responsibilities would be incorporated within the document, with the Board setting the agenda for private sector management as opposed to milestones dictating the tasks of ICANN. Vint Cerf and John Jeffrey provided additional information regarding the agreement and the negotiations.
