Chairman: Hualin Qian
Roll call
After the SEC. Report, Peter D.T. suggested Sec. to approach NSI to be our associate member and ask Sec. to make a schedule to approach new members, especially from Pacific region.
The Chair suggested .tv to change another contact person since James Ross left .tv.
Sec. suggested Tashiro-san, the chair of membership committee to lead some discussion of how to approach new members and the procedure, and the Sec. will support the decision. Hotta expressed Tashiro-san, the chair of membership committee would like to support the decision of the Board and ccTLD activities.
Each WG report
After APTLD outreach program WG report, Peter DT inquired about why the APTLD outreach program change into a different AP joint outreach program. Peter suggested that it has to be clear who is funding and who is responsible. Who should we share our budget with? APTLD Board did not agree APTLD outreach program could work with those org.. Chair suggested APTLD outreach program should focus on DN & IP issues. Peter DT agreed with Chair𠏋 proposal and suggested APTLD outreach program should follow its charter. Besides, Peter expressed his concern that this current outreach program used APTLD budget but did not brand APTLD𠏋 name. Sue Leader inquired about how to select the country to have outreach program and how do you know the outreach job is done in the country. BK Kim suggested Board should discuss more with committee members for finding some answers.
After DRP WG report, Hotta-san suggested DRP WG chair to have an educational program for DRP issue.
After Translation WG report, Peter DT suggested Sec. to survey the names, money, solutions of the Simultaneous Language Translation service for APTLD members.
Kilnam Chon suggested APTLD should move forward to coordinate with ccTLDs on document translation. On Simultaneous Language Translation service, we should ask for volunteers form ccTLDs.
Chair suggested to type speakers speech in on huge screen in order to help audience to understand the speech in other way.
Sue Leader suggested to put ccTLD best practice and re-delegation contract documents should have the priority on translation.
After MDN WG report, Bill Semich inquired about how does YJ Park tell the difference of MDN WG and MINC. How would APTLD members benefit different from MINC?
YJ suggested to have collective effort on the table and asked for more guidelines and clear ideas from APTLD members. She also expressed that it is also fine with her to withdraw from this position if this WG chair position is not proper for her.
Chair suggested that MDN WG might not able to do rich job since lack of men power. The MDN WG should encourage different members like JPNIC, TWNIC to report its own MDN effort and provide more information to outreach program
Bill Semich suggested this WG should watch IETF activities more for members.
Peter DT suggested YJ that the charter of this WG may need some correction. We would not like to see this WG to organize or coordinate with other IDN related groups MINC, IETF, ICANN, nor would they let you. We want someone to tell us what others are doing and focus on reporting and analysis.
Chair expressed there is no formal objection to YJ to be the MDN chair yet and would like to see the meaning and difference of MDN and IDN.
Bill expressed that it could be called as Localized DN.
Kilnam Chon noted that the meaning of IDN is already included Localized DN.
Vincent Chen suggested using Localized and Internationalized DN (LIDN) as WG name and finally all agree LIDN WG and will focus on reporting and analysis of MDN/IDN solutions comparison.
Next Board Election
Chair suggested to have APTLD board election committee in order to setup rules for next board election.
Ramesh Kumar Nadarajah suggested the election committee could include current Board members but not only current Board members
Peter DT suggested final voting should do it face to face.
Chon suggested the best place for AGM is during APRICOT since it is held in AP region. It would be easier for members to attend.
Bill suggested to postpone the Board election to the next AGM meeting during APRICOT meeting.

CENTR Update by Marianne Wolfsaruber
Marianne would like to have more communication with other regional NIC and invite APTLD members to attend CENTR meetings in this Sep. as observer. She noted that ICANN has not had any meeting with CENTR which focus on ICANN-ccTLD contract. CENTR is waiting for ICANN to have more input on this issue.
JP re-delegation Status Update
Hotta-san noted JP had no huge progress after Melbourne meeting and hoped to finish the process of re-delegation in this year. JPNIC will oversee JPRS as the major owner. JPRS will form an advisory committee of 7 members which will advice to the Board directly, but the Board is still the decision making body. And the contract between ICANN and JPRS will post for public comment.
Peter inquired If the JPRS goes bankrupt, what JPNIC will do for delegation? Hotta-san answered, if that is the case, JPNIC will report to JP government that JPRS can not perfect its job. JP government will inform ICANN that JPRS can not perfect its job and continue the delegation.
Hotta-san noted if the formal re-delegation is done, JPRS will be the .jp registry and the member of APTLD and pay for the membership fee.
