[cctld-adcom] Timeline for wwTLD Secretariat and Carthage meetings

[Elisabeth Porteneuve <Elisabeth.Porteneuve@cetp.ipsl.fr>]

Colleagues,

Below is a proposal for description of Secretariat position.
I would appreciate you could ammend or correct it, and we
publish it in few days.

Simultaneously we shall ask ccTLD managers to provide funds
for the Secretariat and common ccTLD activities.

The next meeting is in Africa, could we agree that Yann is
the AdCom Chair? Yann, no objection?

Next issue is the agenda for Carthage, speakers and presentations,
a nameserver training. 

My archi-optimistic timeline would be:

Aug 27: wwTLD Secretariat job posted
Sep 08: consultant hired for 2 months work, Carthage meeting
Sep 08: call to regional ccTLD to raise funds for wwTLD;
Sep 15: agenda version 0, nameserver training people contacted
        call for sponsors for nameserver training issued
... etc
Oct 20: documents ready on the website, 10 days prior to meeting


Best,
Elisabeth

Created in 1998 and funded by country code top level domain registries
(ccTLDs), the wwTLD provides a forum to professional information
exchange and to discuss technical and policy matters affecting ccTLDs.

ccTLDs and are promoting and encouraging the provision of better

define role of the AdCom and of the wwTLD Secretariat.

We are looking for a wwTLD Secretariat.

include:

     conjunction with ICANN ones.

  3. Coordinating with regional ccTLD organizations. Assisting in

The function requires:
