Awaiting the operator to let me on the call. Julie Hedlund:Hello everyone. I also am waiting for the operator. Marika Konings:Same here - looks like jazz is the new trend ;-) Julie Hedlund:Yes, very jazzy! Ron A:I'm wondering what is going on... been holding for 5 mins now... Julie Hedlund:I am in now. Maybe they are catching up. Marika Konings:Still on hold Thomas Rickert:So am I... Thomas Rickert:Hi all! Cintra Sooknanan:Hi everyone Cintra Sooknanan:I'm going to see if connecting through the adobe room works Cintra Sooknanan:if I have difficulty I'll request a dial out Ron A:Looks like Adigo is having some staffing problems to let everyone on to the call... Will start at 15:05 Ron A:eEST Amr Elsadr:Dialling in now. Jennifer Standiford:hello Amr Elsadr:I just dialled in but can't hear anything. Has the meeting started? Ron A:Not yet Amr. Cintra Sooknanan:no all quiet now Amr Elsadr:Ah. Thnx. :) Ron A:Awaiting the rest of the committee as we have all been in the queue to get into the call. Amr Elsadr:We don't have NCSG. Julie Hedlund:We also are missing Wolf-Ulrich from the ISPs Ron A:Thank you, Julie. Julie Hedlund:And missing Registry SG Ron A:Yes, already noted. Thanks. Terri Agnew:Greg Shatan has joined Amr Elsadr:Thanks Thomas and Marika. That's very helpful. This will need to be changed here then. Amr Elsadr:I was going to raise my hand, but Thomas and Greg can probably address this better than I can. Terri Agnew:Apology from Marie-Laure Lemineur Amr Elsadr:Since they were on the IGO/INGO WG. Greg Shatan:The issue was that the recommendations were not in the negative.... Marika Konings:@Greg - but if it is made clear to a WG in advance that it is an option to make a recommendation against x, y or z, it may not be an issue anymore? Greg Shatan:The IGO/INGO WG "consensus against" was not full consensus against.... Marika Konings:right, but that doesn't matter, does it? the designation would determine the level of support against x, y or z? Greg Shatan:@Marika -- that was not possible in the instance, we would have had double the number of recommendation, which would have put us near 100 recommendations, with half there only to provide a solution to this problem. Marika Konings:Or you could also phrase it as 'the WG reached consensus on not providing special protections on x, y or z? Marika Konings:Right, but is that one case sufficient to change the designations where no other PDP WGs have encountered the same issue? Which I think is also a question that was raised during the last meeting. Did the sub-team go into that? Marika Konings:and to be clear, not expressing a specific view here ;-) Amr Elsadr:@Greg: That's what I was also thinking and hoped we could avoid. RE: 3 added designations for decision-making levels. Amr Elsadr:A group might also opt to add recommendatins as a result of community feedback that "the group" doesn't necessarily agree to. Amr Elsadr:Thanks Greg. Amr Elsadr:I'm not actually sure how helpful a 24 hr notice would be, so am not sure wether it is necessary or not. Amr Elsadr:I would add a section here to address the resubmission issue, just for clarity. Amr Elsadr:@Greg: Agreed, but perhaps it just needs to be clarified. Ron A:Julie: Do we have that document that Thomas is speaking about? Greg Shatan:In the Actions #2, I think that should be Marika and Greg... Amr Elsadr:Oh yeah!! How'd I end up there?? :) Julie Hedlund:Yes -- you are right :-) Amr Elsadr:I'd be happy to help though. :) Julie Hedlund:Changed it! Greg Shatan:@Amr; Just a good volunteer.... :-) Julie Hedlund:@Amr: I guess it's just because you are so helpful ;-) Greg Shatan:Merika = Marika? Julie Hedlund:Yes -- I know a Merika too. Julie Hedlund::-) Marika Konings:Marika = Marika, I'm not sure who Merika is ;-) Cintra Sooknanan::) Julie Hedlund:Merika Kaeo -- she's on the SSAC but I don't think she wants to take on more work! Julie Hedlund:Merike actually (not Merika) Marika Konings:@Amr - we can try to get you some double espressos ;-) Amr Elsadr:Thanks Ron!! :D Julie Hedlund:Names are too similar Julie Hedlund:We'll be sure there's lots of coffee! Amr Elsadr:Thank you too Marika!! ;-) Greg Shatan:@Amr -- Just don' look at your watch.... Marika Konings:And I've even done wake up calls before to make sure WG chairs would show up on time ;-) Julie Hedlund:Thank you everyone! Amr Elsadr:I hope it doesn't come to that Marika!! You work a lot harder than anyone on Council!! ;-) Thomas Rickert:Thanks and bye! Marika Konings::-) Cintra Sooknanan:bye
