  Marika Konings:Welcome to the GAC-GNSO Consultation Group on Early Engagement meeting of 18 March 2014

  Jonathan Robinson:Hi guys.  I'll try adobe mic before dialling in

  Jonathan Robinson:Dialing in

  Nathalie  Peregrine:Ana Neves has joined the AC room

  Nathalie  Peregrine:Hello Ana, we are currently trying to dial out to you, would you still like to be joined on the audio bridge too or have you enabled your AC mic?

  Ana Neves:I think I cannot talk but I'm listening. That's fine for the time being...

  Nathalie  Peregrine:Amr Elsadr has joined the AC room

  Nathalie  Peregrine:@Ana, we are still trying to dial out to you.

  Amr Elsadr:dialling in now.

  Amr Elsadr:Hi all. Had some trouble dialling in, but all good now.

  Nathalie  Peregrine:We have not yet dialled out to Ana

  Nathalie  Peregrine:We are still trying

  Amr Elsadr:@Jonathan: +1. That's been my idea on how to move forward as well.

  Nathalie  Peregrine:David Cake has joined the AC room

  Jonathan Robinson:Welcome David

  David Cake:My aologies for my lateness in joining the call

  Marika Konings:FYI, access to the wiki should now be enabled for everyone (incl. non-registered users): https://community.icann.org/x/phPRAg

  Amr Elsadr:Thanks Marika. I just checked a couple of mintues ago. This has just been done now, right? :)

  Marika Konings:However, adding comments is restricted to registered users (to prevent spam).

  Marika Konings:@Amr, yes correct. I just received a confirmation.

  Amr Elsadr:Tusen takk. :)

  suzanne radell:I agree with Manal's suggested approach.

  Mike O'Connor:yep -- it's working

  Amr Elsadr:@Mikey: There is the motion to approve the charter from the GNSO side.

  suzanne radell:Agree with Jonathan re adding Singapore as target for "approval"

  Ana Neves:sorry, but my call is not working properly. Jonathan, you just said thta we might have some problems at the GNSO Council's level?

  Mike O'Connor:i'll push a candidate for final-draft out to the list after the call

  Amr Elsadr:I don't suspect there will be problems.

  Mike O'Connor:i agree -- pretty safe bet

  Ana Neves:ok. so, discussion in Singapore and approval later on?

  Ana Neves:ok. Got it! Thanks.

  suzanne radell:Re a meeting of our group, I'm in favor of an informal get together, and also think we could invite other interested members of our respective groups to come along as well.

  Ana Neves:absolutely! +1

  Manal:+1 Suzanne

  Marika Konings:16.30 - 18.30

  Marika Konings:on Sunday has been set aside for SG/C meetings

  suzanne radell:If I recall, Brian Winterfeldt also proposed informal drinks at Raffles, but I can't recall if he meant Sunday or Monday

  David Cake:sunday is free as far as I'm aware

  Amr Elsadr:Not really, the Fellowship social gathering. :) I say this as a Fellowship alumni. :)

  Marika Konings:I'll check with Glen who is already on the ground to see what can be arranged

  Marika Konings:We actually did do a doodle: http://doodle.com/r7mspcwgu8qkxav2

  Amr Elsadr:Yes. We did.

  Amr Elsadr:The Monday hour would be over lunch.

  suzanne radell:If Glen can look into a location, perhaps the Raffles back bar with the veranda would work?  The Fairmont bar, if I recall, is a bit dim; I never tried the SwissHotel bar.

  Mike O'Connor:i'm fine with Sunday

  Mike O'Connor:+1 Raffles bar!

  Amr Elsadr:This'll be my first visit to Singapore, but Raffles seems to be popular.

  Amr Elsadr::)

  Ana Neves:agree with Marika

  David Cake:Agree with Suzanne.

  Manal:I believe we were talking about a room with refreshments not for a meeting set-up

  Ana Neves:right, Manal

  suzanne radell:Actually, there is a separate bar at Raffles; VeriSign had their reception there three years ago

  Ana Neves:otherwise I don't think we will have any outcome... honestly...

  David Cake:There are several bars at Raffles IIRC

  suzanne radell:Ana, what I had in mind as an "outcome" is to have more colleagues drawn to this project

  Ana Neves:ok, Suz :-)

  Amr Elsadr:Thanks all. See you all soon. :)

  Ana Neves:safe travels!

  David Cake:See you all in Singapore.
