  Leon Sanchez:hello everybody
  Avri Doria:sounds like we shuld finish today. and make the decsion to send
it on.
  Julie Hammer:Avri, that would be great if we could!
  Byron Holland (ccNSO):If we dont, we would likely need another call by
Wednesday
  Byron Holland (ccNSO):But, lets assume we are going to get it done today!
  Avri Doria:Byron, now that is incentive to finish today!
  Avri Doria:Sounds like a good chapeau stmt.
  Julie Hammer:That sounds good.
  Byron Holland (ccNSO):Something like ³For greater certainty, issues
related to naming policy e.g. delegation, redelegation or revocation of
ccTLDs, RAA related policy issues etc. are not within the scope of the CWG.²
  Byron Holland (ccNSO):Agree with Avri
  Byron Holland (ccNSO):Will do - thanks
  Julie Hammer:Happy with this suggestion but don't think anything
additional needs to be included in the charter now
  Avri Doria:i agree with both Chuck and Julie, as i did on the list.
  Chuck Gomes:I am okay with not having it in the charter or simply
communicating that steps have been initiated.
  Leon Sanchez:different options?
  Byron Holland (ccNSO):"Options" works for me
  Byron Holland (ccNSO):Good catch Julie
  Julie Hammer:Options works for me too.
  Julie Hammer:Agree with Byron on this
  Byron Holland (ccNSO):OK - we can give guidance but not be absolute
  Julie Hammer:Sounds fine
  Avri Doria:there is budgeting to consider
  Byron Holland (ccNSO):Agreed
  Allan MacGillivray:I can do the drafting on resouircing
  Avri Doria:for some people numbers are an on-principle thing.  i agree no
voting.
  Julie Hammer:Also agree no voting
  Byron Holland (ccNSO):Agree - no voting.  Polling is of value, but that is
it
  Chuck Gomes:Informal polling is fine.
  Julie Hammer:Good point...so 7 is more challenging than 5 for GAC?
  Chuck Gomes:Do we need a minimum of 2?  That is desirable so there is
backup but what if  a group cannot get 2 volunteers.
  Byron Holland (ccNSO):yes, that is what i was referring too.  Works for me
re text on polling
  Avri Doria:test: ....voting for decsion making, but infomral polling may
be used as long as it is  used as an indicator, but not as part of the
decsion making process. see sction ...
  Julie Hammer:Tijani, Marika has already corrected this
  Stephanie Duchesneau (RySG):i can take that

  Allan MacGillivray:I can do that as well.
  Byron Holland (ccNSO):Thank you
