services to the DNSO in year 2001, October 2001


Attached you will find copies of two invoices that the DNSO has received
for services that the DNSO has had and expects to have provided to
during the fourth quarter of 2002 (October 1 -- December 31) by Glen de
Saint Gery and by AFNIC.  Both of these expenses fall within the Budget
Committee's authorization to spend up to $5,000 without further
reference to the Names Council and both reflect services for which there
is general agreement.

Although we obviously do not have a contract in place with either Glen
or AFNIC, they have invoiced the DNSO on what I believe are the terms
under which they would be compensated under the proposed contracts [I'd
like confirmation of this from Erica's Search Subcommittee.]

While I have no reason to dispute either of these invoices and, pending
comment on the implied terms from the Search Subcommittee, support their
prompt payment, we should note that by approving payment now, we will be
setting a precedent that we pay both parties at the outset, not the
close, of the quarter (NB Glen includes in her invoice the reimbursement
of her out-of-pocket travel expenses for her travel to Montevideo, which
clearly are both reimbursements and for past services/expenses as well
as her services for the October-December period.)

Having noted and myself accepted the precedent that we pay before
services are fully rendered, I would like to proceed with a vote on the
approval of these two expenditures.  As in the past, if any Committee
member objects to an online vote, then we will take the approval of this
expenditure up at our next [teleconference or face-to-face] meeting when
we can discuss the matter and vote by majority. 

Thanks.
