ICANN-ccTLD Agreement Update: �by Ms. Yumi Ohashi
*Please download the presentation from APTLD website www.aptld.org
Ms. Ohashi from new .jp domain name registry JPRS (Japan Registry Service Co., Ltd.) made a presentation of the transition of .jp domain name administration and management from JPNIC to JPRS.
Vincent Chen: In .jp case, we can see the word, endorsement. Is there any trouble on the wording when you negotiate with Japanese government?
Yumi Ohashi: Japanese government can not sign official agreement or communication with JPNIC and JPRS to oversee this case, so we choose to use the word 婫ndorsement?
Yumi Ohashi: We will prepare all related information, and please do not hesitate to discuss with us if you have any questions.
AP at large: �by Hye Young Kang
*Please download the presentation from APTLD website www.aptld.org
AP at large in Korea will hold a meeting during APRICOT meetings in Bangkok and welcome all members to participate.
McLaughlin: Now ICANN has the database from last At Large elction. Once the Board members decide to have another election, the at large members will need to register again.
ICANN reform: �by Andrew McLaughlin
ICANN reform proposal is trying to focus on what is not working which has board consensus: too much process, too much wasted afford, not enough focus on mission, not enough clarity in the different function of ICANN. The fundamental of ICANN𠏋 problem is the lack of participation from individual users, major stake holders, ISP, registry, non-profit org�etc. Some countries have strong representation, but some do not. The ICANN model from Stuart is a starting point of discussing these questions and far from perfect. No board action will be taken in ICANN Ghana meeting. If you have not happy elements of it, please come up with something better and put it into writing alternative proposals.
There were some members mentioned some ccTLD members in ccTLD constituency are doing interruption more than production. But member still would like to build some general consensus in the afternoon discussion and draft a statement on this ICANN reform proposal.
*ICANN reform will be discussed continuously in this afternoon.

Prospect of year 2002
(WGs, Proposed Budget Plan 2002, Membership fee collection for yr 2002)
Since some WGs have no discussion and activities anymore, Dr. Chon suggested those WGs which would like to continue should have a revised proposal.
There are 3 WGs are proposed to work among APTLD members. BK Kim proposed to continue AP Outreach WG. Chon proposed to have a new WG on survey to re-delegation. So far, .jp and .kr will join this WG. Anyone who is interested in this WG will be free to join. Chris proposed to have a country code organization WG to discuss how APTLD will input the idea of an independent ccSO or a ccTLD org outside of ICANN. Two new WGs?chair shall submit proposals to secretariat and circulate among Board members to consider before 31st of March.
B. (1).au upgraded its membership fee band from Medium to Large membership from this year.
(2)APNIC will contribute USD 10,000 to AP Outreach Program. APTLD Board members agreed to increase the contribution from USD 3,000 to USD 10,000 to AP Outreach program in KRNIC. AP Outreach Program will work on visiting more countries with more support later this year.
(3)The sponsorship program to other countries will depend on how much budget will APTLD receive this year. Currently, this budget will stay at USD 5,000.
4. ICANN structure
The discussion was mostly focus on building ccTLD organization. There are two major concerns of this issue for ccTLDs. How ccTLD will organize themselves? How ICANN will face even ICANN might have nothing to do with local policy. So far, most of members think DNSO is working on gTLD policy more. The original purpose of ccSO was to have representation within ICANN Board structure.
5. Information Sharing:
