Manal:Hi Olof .. Nathalie Peregrine:Noted, thank you Ana Neves:can´t hear you, Manal... Nathalie Peregrine:Manal, iin order to improve your audio, would you like us to dial out to you? Manal:will try to higher the volume Ana .. Marika Konings:@Olof - that typing course definitely paid off ;-) Olof Nordling:I know;-) Missed that one myself... Amr Elsadr:Hi. Thanks Jonathan. Dialling in now. Amr Elsadr:Apologies about being late. Amr Elsadr:On the call now. Amr Elsadr:Sorry. What was the question? Nathalie Peregrine:Jonathan, your line is breaking up quite a lot Olof Nordling:@Jonathan - your line has a lot of jitter Nathalie Peregrine:We can dial out to you Jonathan Jonathan Robinson:back on audio now Manal:great back to you :) Nathalie Peregrine:Breaking up again Jonathan Nathalie Peregrine:We cannot hear you anymore Amr Elsadr:Still breaking up a lot Jonathan. Can't make out what you're saying. Amr Elsadr:You're back now. Manal:it's perfect now .. Amr Elsadr:@Jonathan: Your audio is pretty good now. Manal:yes it has Amr .. Manal:sounds good Amr .. Ana Neves:yes. the work from GNSO and GAC together Ana Neves:I know it's difficult but we should start a pilot as mentioned before otherwise we don't start anything that can be see and evaluated throughout this year. Ana Neves:something must start in London to be perhaps "evaluated" in LA? Amr Elsadr:@Ana: I think your suggestion is very sensible. Our work will more than likely be iterative. We'll have to evaluate how effective it is as it progresses, and possibly idenrify areas where improvements or changes in our plans are required. Ana Neves:yes, I agree. But when and how are you starting to discuss the identification of such areas? Ana Neves:not "you" but "we", sorry Manal:+1 Marika .. Ana Neves:yes, very good proposal, Marika. Manal:sure .. Amr Elsadr:I suggest that we move forward trying to solidify the two streams, and identify a timeframe in which we can evaluate progress. I don't feel comfortable specifiying that now. Maybe when in the process of finalizing the details of the two streams. Ana Neves:I agree with Amr but on the other hand time there's so much we could being do togeter that it is a pity that we don't start anything even if under a pilot Amr Elsadr:I think Marika said what I was trying to say..., just a lot more eloquently. :) Marika Konings::-) Amr Elsadr:I think the teams reporting on progress will work. At least with the next meeting until we identify other areas we need to work on. Amr Elsadr:@Manal: +1 on using the mailing list too. Manal:I'm fine .. Amr Elsadr:Considering the limited attendance, we need to ask for more feedback from the group via email. Manal:Thanks Jonathan and all .. Amr Elsadr:Thanks everyone. Have a great week. Ana Neves:Thanks to all! Bye
