2 Stage 3 report - discussion of model proposed by the sub-group
The Panel discussed the draft Stage 3 report, which was prepared by a
sub-group comprising the Chairs and Rob Anderson, Matt Healy, Tony Hill,
David Howarth and Bruce Tonkin.
The Panel noted that the report emphasised a multiple registries model without providing much explanation of the alternative, single registry model. The Panel agreed that the report should put forward both models, without recommending either one at this stage.
In addition to some minor editing and revision, it was agreed that the following sections would be added to the report:
- more explanation and argument in relation to the single registry model;
- introductory text regarding competition policy;
- executive summary to highlight the key issues; and
- glossary of terms.

The aim is to
release the stage 3 report for public consultation by 16 February,with a
closing date for submissions of 16 March. Panel members agreed to continue
to discuss and revise the report via the mail list. The release of the
report is to be coordinated with the release of the Names Panel Report and
auDA will issue a press release at that time.

were advised that the three Panel chairs and six common Panel members and

coordination of public consultation efforts. Ian Johnston tabled a
paper he drafted for the joint Panel meeting, which proposed a number of
possible public consultation mechanisms that could be undertaken by auDA and
the Panels.
