Staff will be implementing some changes to ensure its fairness and stability. Staff will be busy preparing for the implementation of the Corporate Governance reforms, the Q1 release of registry operations changes, the final public consultation on the WHOIS implementation plan and the Internet Radio Project. 2.2 Review of the Q4 Financial Results The Treasurer reviewed the financial results for the period ending December 31, Revenue was higher this period than budgeted due to an increase in new registrations. New registrations this quarter are 33% higher than the same period in 2004 and the actual renewal rate is 78% for this quarter. Overall expenses were slightly over budget due to some unforeseen travel and meetings and expenses related to the Corporate Governance reforms.

(Moved: P. Andersen, seconded: L. Mackan-Roy, unanimously carried) 2.8 Technical Oversight Committee R. Kawchuk reported that the Technical Oversight Committee had met the previous day and had discussed DNS robustness and various disaster scenarios. Staff will report back at the next Technical Oversight Committee meeting with a technology roadmap. C. Beattie suggested that the Board of Directors consider a technical security audit. K. von Arx referred the Board of Directors to three projects currently under way that would include this concern: risk analysis, single points of failure and the continuity of the Registry.
7 Elections under Revised By-Law That the CIRA Board of Directors adopt the following resolution: Resolved that: 1.Staff proceed with the 2006 CIRA Policy on Nominations and Elections; 2. Staff proceed with the 2006 CIRA Board Election in accordance with the Election Rules; 3. The election period for the 2006 Board election be September 15, 2006 (12:00 noon, Ottawa time) to September 21, 2006 (20:00, Ottawa time) and; 4. The Terms of Reference for the 2006 Board Election Returning Officer govern the mandate of the 2006 Board Election Returning Officer; if the revised By-Law No. 1 is approved by the Ministry. (Moved: J. Demco, seconded: J. Mercer, unanimously carried) The Board of Directors directed staff to report back in the upcoming weeks with an implementation and communication plan to inform the public and stakeholders in regards to the appointment of the Nomination Committee and the authentication process for members. C. Beattie proposed that an ad hoc committee be formed to work with staff in the development of this work plan and to establish timelines. R. Anderson, M. Geist and M. Osborne volunteered to form this committee. 4. Board Correspondence The Board did not receive any correspondence since its last meeting. 5. Other Business The Board of Directors discussed meeting in April or May for a 2 day strategic planning session. Staff will report back to the Board of Directors with possible dates. B. Turcotte reported that discussion were ongoing with UBC and would attempt to contact them yet again and report back to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors also directed staff to look into changing the date of the Annual General Meeting to June 2006 to eventually coincide with the Board elections in future years. Staff will report back with possible venues. The Board of Directors discussed the recent amendment to the Letters Patent and reviewed how it should determine what other internet-related activities CIRA should engage in. The Board referred back to the Special Members' meeting and, in particular some of the concerns that were raised in regard to the amendment to the Letters Patent. A discussion ensued on how CIRA should best approach this topic and the Board of Directors was of unanimous opinion that it is of utmost importance that the process be open, transparent, and accountable. In light of that, the
8 Board of Directors came to the conclusion that the first step in this process is to determine a framework/process through which the Board of Directors can effectively consult with the membership on activities that CIRA may and/or should consider. C. Beattie suggested that an ad hoc committee be formed and Directors interested in participating should show their interest to the Chair. K. von Arx reported that staff has been working on a foundation and process document which should be completed in the spring of this year. This document will provide a framework for the Board to consult with the public and the membership on what other internet related activities CIRA should be engaged in. 6. Next Meeting The next meeting of the Board will be held in April L. Gravel, B. Turcotte and K. von Arx withdrew from the meeting. 7. In Camera Session The Board held an in camera session. Following the in camera session, L. Gravel, B. Turcotte and K. von Arx rejoined the meeting. 8. Adjournment There being no further business, on motion by P. Andersen and seconded by J. Demco, the meeting was adjourned at 12:30 p.m.
