We have Draft resolution. Byron also draw attention to fact that of current 5 members appointed some (2) of the members stopped participating some time ago, although as part of the application process commitment to participate was asked.

At previous call Keith and Becky have raised questions and issues from IANA staff pertaining to FOI.

Referred to FOI paper on this topic in the pack of prep material. The questions were initially discussed at 10 December meeting. Questions in the paper.
Any comments?
Lesley: Read note with interest. Based on her former experience she noted that Information needs to be kept private: inundated with spam.

Action All: Provide feed-back to Becky and Keith by mail
5) Meeting B advisory ccNSO Programme WG
This is first year new Meeting Strategy. Programme WG ws asked to provide advice
Katrina: Initially wanted to run survey. However as result of Dublin session. Unclear how meeting B will look like. Also with Transition on-going during first meeting B. Next year (2017) probably first year actually first meeting B.
Keith: reduce ccNSO members meeting, move to more cross-community work?
At this stage it is hard to say. Possibly more meetings.
Byron: Question for topic of conversation with other groups.
Action: Include in agenda with other SO/AC.Draft resolution Mover: Becky
Seconder: Stephen
Keith abstains: member of Strategy group that proposed the changed structure.
Carried with one (1) abstention (Keith)
Peter Vergrote: If no Sunday meetings at meeting B, will Council meet in advance of the meeting.6) ccNSO PDP on retirement of ccTLDs and on IRP for decisions on delegation, revocation and transfer of ccTLDs
10 December started to discuss.Staff has Mapped out the PDP process. Duration at least 10 months
Core question: Combine or treat the topics separately. Will be on agenda in the year ahead. Discussion to thinking at this time:
Keith: There is a bit of chicken and egg situation. Should ccNSO proceed to IRP process or start. Review Mechanism is foreseen in RFC 1591, needs to be spelled out, or other way around.
Interlinking between topics (retirement and review mechanism), could be done by sequencing within one PDP.
Peter VanRoste: hearing from members that it is on the agenda makes some GAC members nervous. Need for a statement
Action: clarifying statement from Council on PDP
Lesley: Whilst we should get on rather sooner or later. Experience has shown that he 10 months as suggested in paper is very optimistic. Further paper also suggested it could be Fast Tracked: would be quite concerned if Fast Tracked as it signals the need that PDP itself needs to reviewed.
