wschen wschen

10:03:58

Hello, peter....

Hualin Qian

10:04:16

Do we need also discuss about the At Large nominating committee issue?

Hualin Qian

10:05:15

It will be good to have more people from this rigion to be on the committee.

wschen wschen

10:06:16

there two Interim AL committee member from AP, one from China and one from Japan, right?

Peter Dengate Thrush

10:06:43

(Yes, thanks Ian) I had hope that Ramesh would be here to chair the meeting, and to report on the first items of business. Hualin- yes, the Nominating Committee (and separately, the At Large, and also the need for a meeting of cctlds in Rio or not, and how we might deal with the report from the Assistance Group.

Chiang Ian

10:07:36

R esh told me that he will be in this meeting

Hualin Qian

10:07:51

Sorry, it should be At Large AC and ICANN NomCom issues.

Peter Dengate Thrush

10:09:00

Can we start with item 1 - do we have to have board elections at the AGM in Taiwan? For all positions, or did we agree to have some now and some later? I would prefer to have half the board (only) up for election every year....

wschen wschen

10:10:53

My colleague, Mr. Chiao Ching also participate in this meeting and he will assist Ian for APTLD matters in the future.

Chiao Ching

10:11:34

Hello everyone, pleasure to join and to assist

Ohashi Yumi

10:12:01

Hi, Chiao Ching-san! Welcome.

Peter Dengate Thrush

10:12:07

Welcome to Mr Chiao Ching. Perhaps we can wait for R esh to answer the items about APTLD constitution in item 1...?

Chiao Ching

10:12:25

Hi Yumi-san

Chiao Ching

10:12:30

Tks Peter

wschen wschen

10:13:26

Peter, yes. I remember we discuss the board election mechanism you mentioned last time on Shanghai.

wschen wschen

10:13:46

prefer to have half the board (only) up for election every year....

Peter Dengate Thrush

10:15:10

So, we can expect to have elections for half the board,. at least, before our AGM. I think we need online voting before the meeting?

Ohashi Yumi

10:15:56

does this mean a kind of staggered term?

wschen wschen

10:17:28

I don’t know this mechanism includes in the new constitution or not? But according to old bylaws, no those kind of mechanism. So, if we want to do that, it seems that we need to modify and pass new constitution first.

Peter Dengate Thrush

10:18:49

(Yumi) Yes -two years. (Vincent) yes -I suppose this is another item we need to hear from Ramesh on.

Ohashi Yumi

10:21:15

Thank you Peter. I agree to review and modify the constitution.

Chiang Ian

10:21:15

Ramesh email me to say he has some problems in login, he will try again to log in

Peter Dengate Thrush

10:21:55

While we are waiting, shall we look at the agenda for Taipei - Ian, can you post the draft you circulated previously, please?

wschen wschen

10:23:30

Any comment for this agenda?

Chiang Ian

10:23:45

you can also refer to the APTLD website for a close look at it

wschen wschen

10:24:47

this agenda is based on "the board election on the AGM meeting in Taipei"....

Hualin Qian

10:25:24

If we change half of the Board every year, then we have to re-elect the Chairs every year. This is not

Hualin Qian

10:25:34

good I think.

wschen wschen

10:27:45

So, I think this time is still re-elect all the board. But maybe three are one year term and four are two year term if AGM pass this mechanism....

wschen wschen

10:28:38

maybe we can also suggest that chair term is two year.

Hualin Qian

10:29:00

Therefore, we should discuss the constitution first. Change the by-laws.

wschen wschen

10:31:01

But maybe three are one year term and four are two year term if AGM pass this mechanism.... after first year, all are two year term in the second year election.... It means we can elect three new board for two year term (to replace three are one year term this year).

Hualin Qian

10:31:31

Any changes we made should be passed on AGM meeting. Here we can suggest and prepare the changes to the by-laws, then in Taipei, we will put these suggestions to the AGM meeting.

wschen wschen

10:31:35

It means we can elect three new board for two year term (to replace three are one year term this year) in the next year.

Peter Dengate Thrush

10:32:29

We need to see the constitution, then. I guess we have to do what it currently says. Perhaps for this year we will have to elect a whole board, then change the constitution, as we are running out of time to do that before 24 Feb (*Agree with Hualin).

Chiang Ian

10:33:14

Dear all, i just sent the draft APTLD Constitution to each of you for your information.

Lee Young-Eum

10:35:07

Didn't get it yet. Document is not on the APTLD site either.

Hualin Qian

10:35:55

I agree to Peter and Vincent that this time we re-elect all the Board.

Lee Young-Eum

10:36:02

Agreed.

wschen wschen

10:36:35

yes, but all two year term or some one year, some two year?

Lee Young-Eum

10:36:58

Some one year, some two years

Peter Dengate Thrush

10:38:43

Can we move to item 4- Taiwan agenda? Or do we agree?

Lee Young-Eum

10:41:10

I guess everyone agrees.

Hualin Qian

10:41:14

How about "three one year, four two year", then, in next year, re-elect the three for two year term, then all

Hualin Qian

10:43:00

From next year on, every year will re-elect half of the board, But the Chairs must serve at least two years.

Lee Young-Eum

10:43:21

I also suggest that the two year term positions and the one year term positions be decided by the number of votes.

Peter Dengate Thrush

10:43:49

(Hualin/Yumi) Sounds OK to me -can we confirm in Taipei for the future?

Hualin Qian

10:43:58

Good idea from Lee.

Lee Young-Eum

10:44:09

I must apologize that I have to leave now to chair a very important public forum for KRNIC, as Namecom Chair. See you all in Taipei. ^^

Peter Dengate Thrush

10:44:38

See you!

Hualin Qian

10:44:38

See you then.

wschen wschen

10:44:42

Wait a moment, dr. lee....how about IDN issues in this meeting..

Lee Young-Eum

10:45:41

I don't think we have time to discuss the "issues" now. But I guess we need to try to talk about the IDN meeting schedule.

wschen wschen

10:46:08

Are you already invited IDN workshop speakers now?

Hualin Qian

10:46:39

Can we discuss IDN issues in Taipei?

Lee Young-Eum

10:47:15

Most of the speakers have been agreed on during our ccTLD IDN netmeeting. I have also sent out invitations to some who were not present at the meeting. I'm also in the process of sending out some more invitations.

Lee Young-Eum

10:47:42

I think it would be a good idea to discuss this over e-mail.

wschen wschen

10:47:54

Thanks...

Lee Young-Eum

10:48:12

Signing off now...

wschen wschen

10:48:15

See you..

Peter Dengate Thrush

10:49:50

I have to go too, soon. I need to cover the items of adcom, Nom.Com and a Names Council liaison.

wschen wschen

10:50:32

So, any comment on the Taipei agenda? let us confirm it first...

wschen wschen

10:51:38

election and voting at Taipei AGM (not on-line voting before Taipei AGM), right?

Ohashi Yumi

10:51:59

i imagined it is done already before Taipei.

Ohashi Yumi

10:52:09

i mean voting

Peter Dengate Thrush

10:52:34

And! What about inviting GAC reps to the Taiwan meeting -we are behind on our liaison efforts here

wschen wschen

10:53:13

Yumi, you mean we need on-line voting before Taipei AGM?

Ohashi Yumi

10:53:31

In my opinion, yes --> Vincent

wschen wschen

10:54:06

any other comment on Yumi's opinion?

Ohashi Yumi

10:54:23

last time it was done by on-line voting. i think that is efficient.

Ohashi Yumi

10:54:30

and

wschen wschen

10:54:59

any other comment on Yumi's opinion? Peter? Prof. Qian?

Ohashi Yumi

10:55:03

we may have members who cannot attend physically at Taipei mtg. we must hear their voice, too.

Peter Dengate Thrush

10:55:49

yes-I think online voting for board before the meeting is best.

Ohashi Yumi

10:56:34

hope so. is it feasible for the secretariat?

wschen wschen

10:56:59

and all for two years or just three one year and four for two years?

Hualin Qian

10:57:26

I think on-line election is also good. But may be it will be more simple to put the nominees on the web site, and then election in the morning of the Taipei APTLD AGM meeting, then in the Afternoon, announce the new Board and New Chairs.

Ohashi Yumi

10:57:26

3 for one year, 4 for two years

wschen wschen

10:57:27

if the rules are clear, secretariat is no problem to do that.

Peter Dengate Thrush

10:58:14

Vincent we do whatever the constitution now says.... Now, can we move to the idea of an extra adcom person? Hualin agreed -any one opposed? If not, who should it be?

Hualin Qian

10:59:23

If the election is on-line, I hope the Sec. should inform all the members and make things very clear and easy.

wschen wschen

10:59:45

So, on-line voting and just one year term for all board....

wschen wschen

11:00:36

Ok, Sec will make things clear and easy for members vote.

Peter Dengate Thrush

11:02:26

Does anyone disagree with adding an extra person to the adcom, from each region?

Ohashi Yumi

11:03:07

agree --> peter

wschen wschen

11:03:10

If all agree on-line voting and do whatever the constitution now says, Sec will start to prepare on-line voting matters.

Hualin Qian

11:03:11

As Yumi said, according to the number of votes, the three persons with less votes, will be the one year term position, other four are two years term. Is this OK?
