Discussion on ATRT response from the Board regarding ATRT3 and WS2 overlap. Will continue progress of the work. 2. Question on PTI Prep of the next WS2 plenary (Oct 4, 2016) Appears that work will not be completed by Hyderabad and will focus on having the report for Copenhagen. Intend to show progress during Hyderabad meeting Review of our document Reviewed draft report and materials that have been added based on the discussions. ACTION ITEM: Need those who have signed up as participants to start working on the draft document and contributing to the work, per their commitment as being a participant to the group. Question - what is the mandate of the group - discussion compare the definition of the work of the Ombudsman and compare with what needs to be done, and take on board the ATRT2 recommendation and do a review of the office of the Ombudsman. Group will do a review maybe not like an ATRT review but wiki cover the main elements of the position. Suggestion to add the scope to the document. Also Chris LaHatte noted Herb made a useful suggestion about getting Andre Marin to do the review, is this still an option? I think someone of his standing would be most useful. Discussion maybe a little early to take for Plenary discussion regarding funding and support to have Andre Marin conduct a review of the office of Ombudsman. A strong case for consideration to get funding to support subgroups request. Group polled to see level of support for request for outside consultant to do review of Ombudsman Office for the group. Group supported having the request noted and sent to the Co-Chairs for possible consideration at today's Plenary. ACTION ITEM: Co-Chairs to be contacted by Rapporteurs regarding request for funding to support outside review of the Ombudsman office Next meeting #10 – Oct 10, 2016 AOB Nothing noted. Meeting closed by the Rapporteur.
