Anne-Rachel Inni introduced the topic for discussion. Doug Barton and Paul Twomey provided additional information. Following additional discussion, Alejandro Pisanty moved for a vote on the following resolution, which was seconded by Hagen Hultzsch and Vanda Scartezini:
Whereas, country-code top-level domains in the Internet domain-name system are designated by two-letter codes ("alpha-2 codes") shown on the ISO 3166-1 list maintained by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency (ISO 3166/MA).
Whereas, the alpha-2 code " TL" was assigned to the ISO 3166-1 list in May 2002 for the Democratic Republic of East Timor. In November of 2002, the name of the country was also changed on the ISO list to Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste.
Whereas, the Government of the DR Timor-Leste endorsed the Department of Information Technology (DoIT) at the Ministry of Transport, Communication and Public Works as the appropriate entity to both hold the delegation of administrative authority for the .TL ccTLD and to manage the process of migration from the legacy .TP ccTLD.
Whereas, the DoIT sent ICANN a request to delegate the TLD to them on August 2004.
Whereas, the DoIT has sent all paperwork and formal endorsement from the Government and is now technically ready to operate the TLD.
Resolved (05.02) that the proposed delegation of the .TL country code top level domain to assigned according to ISO 3166 for Timor-Leste, to the Department of Information Technology at the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Public Works in the DR Timor-Leste is approved.
This resolution was unanimously approved by the Board, 12-0. Njeri Rionge was not present for the vote.
