language (Business Plan, 2:24:47 PM, in-room, #1198)

please insist that the chair respect multi-lingualism and slow down and use appropriate terms
this is simply a matter of respect.

Does the NC have any position on expanding the UDRP to include other issues besides trademark ones. It would appear that for something that is named a Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy to be limited to only one form of dispute is not what the name suggests. Shouldn't the UDRP be expanded to cover all domain name disputes?

WHOIS (Business Plan, 2:40:18 PM, #1200)

There are many people with privacy concerns regarding the selling of WHOIS data by NSI/VeriSign to commercial entities. Is there any official DNSO position as regards the private information being sold by NSI?

TLD's (Business Plan, 2:51:41 PM, #1201)

YJ Park makes a very good point. VeriSign and the new registries have an inherent conflict of interest in gauging the timeframe for introducing more TLD's, ie, marketshare competition to their own businesses. While perhaps not evaluating their own success, existing registries could easily say the "proof of concept" needs "more time" ...

Verisign/NSI Contract (Approval of Agenda, 4:18:58 PM, #1204)

Verisign/NSI is asking for a combined registry/Registrar Agreement. In this respect, what is the difference between the Verisign/NSI Agreement and the Image Online Design application which was rejected in November 2000?

Multiligual Testbed (Budget Committee, 4:20:50 PM, #1205)

Most people consider RACE -- the Row-based ASCII-Compatible Encoding standard, a kludge for using ASCII to encode non-Latin characters. What
about all of the Asian markets that aren't being served by this ASCII-only system? Wouldn't it be better to restructure the DNS in a way that would
actually meet the needs of a global linguistic environment?

Public Forum Comments (Budget Committee, 4:21:25 PM, #1206)

There were a significant number of comments on the ICANN public comment forum in opposition to
the VeriSign/NSI agreement. Can the Board give the Internet Community an assurance that these will be given proper consideration anfd if so, how?

If it was not a Policy decision then why was the incentive given to Verisign /NSI to get more years on their agreement if they would seperate.

An agreement that incentivizes NSI, and rewards them for doing it, is a statement of policy.

(Budget Committee, 5:50:01 PM, #1208)

A company which was to constantly hire and rehire consultant after consultant on technical matters which it could handle internaly would be called to justify this. Both on the matter of Cost, and on failure to use available resources. Matters such as being seen to handle it by recourse to a 'Profesional' do not counter the impresion that ICANN can not handle simple internal administration matters. Are there any responces to this ?
