3.1 Briefing by Louis Touton on implementation of policies (30 mins).
For background see:
http://www.icann.org/legal/briefing-on-implementation-20oct02.htm
Questions of clarification include the difference between "policy" and
"administrative detail", and the level of guidance ICANN staff require to
implement a "policy" developed via consensus.  For example should a policy
state that "there should be a maximum period for a particular action", or
should the policy state "the maximum period for an action is 3 days".
Note the current registry contracts have many examples of specific
administrative detail.
