  Mark Carvell  GAC - UK Govt: Third skill description -
  Mark Carvell  GAC - UK Govt:Selection process - looks fine.
  Philip Corwin:OK with no term limit, but prefer annual reconfirmation
  Mason Cole:I agree with Phil on that point
  Mark Carvell  GAC - UK Govt:Could you remind me of how to handle the liaison being incapacitated fir whatever reason (not temping fate, Mason!)
  Nathalie  Peregrine:Pedro Matos, representing Ana Neves, has joined the audio bridge
  Mason Cole:My experience is that it's very important that the liaison be fluent with GNSO work and therefore be a non-voting member of the council
  Glen de Saint Gery: GOP Observers heGNSOCouncilmayagreewith theCouncilof anyotherICANNSupportingOrganizationorAdvisoryCommittee to exchange observers.Such observersshallnot bemembersof,orentitledto voteor make motions on, the GNSOCouncil,but otherwiseshallbeentitledto participateon equalfootingwith membersof theGNSOCouncil.TheappointingCouncilshall designate its observer(or revoke orchangethe designationofitsobserver)on theGNSOCouncilbyprovidingwrittennotice to theChairofthe GNSOCouncilandto theICANNSecretary
  Marika Konings:I think that part needs to be updated as the current count is 3 - as the review of RPMs Final Issue Report has now been published as well.
  Mark Carvell  GAC - UK Govt:Basically I conlcude that the QLM mechanism is working  - and on GAC side we are now familiar with issue reports. Interesting that the two issues are intersecting with new GAC modalities - i) formation of a GAC sub-group - PSWG and ii) a cross GAC coordination group on new gTLD issues. Thus issue handling is becoming more structured across the GNSO and GAC.
  Mark Carvell  GAC - UK Govt:Too early to identify improvemetns I think - need more experience.
  Mark Carvell  GAC - UK Govt:I will report where we are on this to the EU meetign chaired by Megan in Brussels on 28th
  Mason Cole:Thanks Manal.  Good day all.
  Philip Corwin:Bye all
  Pedro Matos PT (on behalf of Ana Neves):thank you for putting forward this meeting.bye
  Mark Carvell  GAC - UK Govt:Many thanks Manal - and colleagues!
