Alejandro Pisanty introduced a resolution, seconded by Hagen Hultzsch:
Whereas, on 30 March 2006, ICANN's Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) submitted a comprehensive report entitled Alternative TLD Name Systems and Roots: Conflict, Control and Consequences. The report was the subject of a valuable workshop presented by the SSAC at these meetings in Wellington.
Whereas, the SSAC report describes the operational models and the technical mechanisms alternative TLD name system and root operators employ to provide name resolution and registration services, and considers the impact on Internet users and service providers (ISPs), domain name registrants, and registries that operate under agreements with ICANN.
Resolved (06.13), the ICANN Board hereby accepts the Report, and thanks SSAC Chair Steve Crocker, SSAC Fellow Dave Piscitello, the members of SSAC, and all other contributors for their efforts in the creation of the report.
Resolved (06.14), the ICANN Board directs staff to forward the Report to ICANN's advisory committees and interested parties for their consideration in connection with the IDN TLD policy development process.
Following discussion, a vote was taken on the resolution, which the Board adopted by a 15-0 vote.
