[atlarge-discuss] UPDATE ON PANEL ACTIVITIES

["Hans Klein" <hans.klein@pubpolicy.gatech.edu>]

Dear Members of ICANNatlarge.com,

Here are some notes on what is going on in various parts of our organization...

The Panel now has its full complement of members.  The new panelists are 
Bruce and Edmundo.

The Panel is working to develop a formal voting procedure.  This will allow 
us to make decisions.  We hope to have this by mid-week.

WG-WEB is becoming active again.  We are getting a new Coordinator.  That 
person will initiate the process of reviewing web issues and making 
recommendations to the full Panel.  The Panel can review the 
recommendations and make some final decisions.  Thus, we are a few steps 
away from making any substantive changes to the web page.

The Panel is waiting for an official report of the election results. It is 
my understanding that "ICANNatlarge.org" was the preferred name.  I have 
seen messages posted to this list, but I haven't seen an official 
communication to the Panel.  A report was solicited from Walter Schmidt on 
September 27, but no reply has been received.  (Walter and other watchdogs 
-- can we please have a formal statement of voting results.  You can send 
it to me or to all panel members individually.  Thank you!)

Once the Panel receives the results of the name vote, it can use the voting 
procedure to decide the name of the organization.  The panel seems to be 
leaning towards adoption of the top vote-getting name. We have not yet 
initiated a formal discussion.  We will use the voting procedure to 
finalize the name decision.

Once the Panel has decided on a name, and once WG-WEB is functioning, and 
once the Panel has approved any changes to the web page, we can implement 
our new URL, based on our new name.

Currently, the panel does not have a Chair.  As Alt Chair I am performing 
some Chair responsibilities.  The Panel needs to decide on a new Chair and 
is discussing that at present.

The Panel is not currently discussing issues of fundraising, bylaws, and 
incorporation.  Nor have we addressed an issue that is arguably prior to 
this:  definition of a mission statement.  I expect that we will address 
these issues soon.  However, the other issues above are currently taking 
precedence.

That is where we currently stand.  Thanks for your patience in reading 
through all this!

Sincerely,
Hans
