Minutes of the second NZOC meeting were placed online this week. Interesting look at the thinking of the members in it. Nothing major but some interesting hints at launch date issues. Couple of obvious things that I spotted as 'curious' are:
- "The agenda for NZOC meetings will be posted to the Members list. It will not be published on the web site."
- "...transfer the international responsibility, and budget, back to the International Affairs Committee for this financial year..."
Making the Agenda only on InternetNZ's members (list of less than 200 people) means that they planning to reduce public input as much as possible (ICANN anyone?) and moving the planning and the actual $87,500 budget back to NZOC is weird. This cost is so much part of DNC and IAC it is not funny. This line item was called 'ICANN Travel' for a reason.

ICANN has approved the Verisign WLS proposal. I have made some comments in public against this with this being the lastest.
WLS solely applies to the gTLD space (in fact just the .com and .net space really) and has no direct impact on ccTLD's registries. However, is this a wave of the future? Will .uk and .de the 'big guns' of the ccTLD space move in a similar direction?
How will the average name holder react to WLS, will it lead to the concept being introduced in ccTLD's?
