Nathalie Peregrine:Amr Elsadr has joined the cal

Nathalie Peregrine: call

Manal:Hi Amr ..

Amr Elsadr:Hi Manal. So sorry I'm late. Lost track of time. Dialling in

now.

Amr Elsadr:Just joined the call. Apologies again for being so late.

Nathalie Peregrine:David Cake is on the audio bridge

Amr Elsadr:I think Suzanne is making a lot of sense. This is about

syncing two processes, not having one accomodate the other.

Manal:Agree Amr & Suzanne ..

Suzanne Radell:I agree with Ana in terms of needing more context and

framing of issues/processes for our GAC colleagues

Marika Konings:F2F meeting has been scheduled for Sunday from 18.30 -

19.30 (see http://la51.icann.org/en/schedule/sun-1830-gac-gnso)

Amr Elsadr:I won't be in LA, but would like to participate remotely if

this option will be available.

Ana Neves:Oh, ok! Great! Thanks, Marika.

Marika Konings:@Amr - very sorry to hear you won't be able to attend,

but I do believe remote participation should be available.

Amr Elsadr:Great thanks.

Amr Elsadr:Yes. There is a process to make amendments to the process. :)

Ana Neves:Absolutely! Totally on the same page with Suz.

David Cake:It is rare that anyone is worried the GNSO is too fast!

Amr Elsadr:We may need to come to terms that some forms of early

engagment may not be too feasible. Example: A PDP is identified during

the issue report phase, but the GAC doesn't have time to comment on the

initial report, but works with the GNSO to be prepared to provide input

during the chartering of the PDP working group. Just a thought.

Marika Konings:@Amr - I think you are referring to the Issue Report,

not the Initial Report?

Amr Elsadr:Sorry. I should have been clearer. I meant comment to the

initial issue report, as opposed to the final issue report for which

there is not public comment.

David Cake:Absolutely with Suzanne on the volume. EWG is an excellent

example - a huge piece of policy work coming down the pipe.

David Cake:That will have public policy implications.

Amr Elsadr:@David: +1. The upcoming post-EWG PDP might be a good place

to start a test run.

Amr Elsadr:Actually, this PDP is past the issue report phase, isn't it?

It's a bit confusing becasue it's an ad-hoc process. Now wondering if

it's a good idea.

Nathalie Peregrine:Mason Cole has joined the AC room

Marika Konings:@Amr - that is correct.

Manal:Hi Mason ..

Amr Elsadr:Sorry Suzanne, I wasn't around back then but I imagine

you're right.

Manal:welcome to the call ..

Amr Elsadr:Hi Mason.

Amr Elsadr:Marika just asked the question/concern I was going to raise.

Mason Cole:Hi all...apologies for my late arrival

Suzanne Radell:I would have to say "no" to David's question as to

whether the participation of one GAC member means the GNSO is getting a

"GAC" perspective

Olof Nordling:Welcome on board, Mason!

Mason Cole:Thanks Olof!

Amr Elsadr:Yeah, Mason. You're in it now!! :)

Suzanne Radell:Apologies all, but I need to drop off and get on another

call. Thanks for a very constructive exchange.

Mason Cole:Happy to be in : )

Amr Elsadr:Thanks all. Bye.

Ana Neves:Thank you all. Bye

Manal:Thank you all .. bye ..

David Cake:Thank you all
