Hi Lesley, Two quick questions: 1. I understand that Norm Ritchie is no longer with CIRA and as he was co-chair, this means the charter we would be approving would already be out of date - or was he intending on remaining in this capacity? BB: . The charter was send to me prior to Norm leaving CIRA, and hence was not included in the charter. 2. Under the rules of the ccNSO, section 7.2 on committees, we say that 'members of the ccNSO Council will usually chair any standing or permanent committees established'. We have previously applied this rule to WG, such as the IANA WG, so should it not also apply here? or are we proposing that relaxing that rule? BB: As the Tech WG was only asked to propose a charter to "ensure that it is mandated and capable of undertaking continuing work with IANA on outstanding issues", the chairmanship of the wg was not revisited. Please note that the Tech wg was established at the Wellington meeting in March 2006 prior to the adoption of the guidelines. Kind regards, Bart
