Amr Elsadr:Hi Mary. Hi all. Dialling in now. Amr Elsadr:Forgot to change my txt color. :) Mary Wong:Yes that was shocking! :) Amr Elsadr:;-) Martin Silva:Thank you! Martin Silva:Yes Rudi Vansnick:correct Mary Amr Elsadr:Having trouble dialling in. Any chance I can ask for a dial out right now? Rudi Vansnick:i suppose we wait for Anne to join Terri Agnew:Hi Amr, yes we will dial out to you Amr Elsadr:Thnx. Lori:I am attempting to dial in. Lori:I am on line and see the screen but I need to do the audio by phone. Rudi Vansnick:no prob Lori Amr Elsadr:On the call now. Hi again. :) Lori:on call too now Amr Elsadr:@Mary: Yes. Thanks for making the clarification. Amr Elsadr:Thank you Mary. Mary Wong:No worries, just supplementing your summary! Amr Elsadr:Always grateful when you do. :) Mary Wong:@Amr, that would be the staff suggestion of the order in which the SCI might want to proceed as well. Amr Elsadr:Not that we need ot slack, but I don't believe these projects are urgent, or have any deadline coming up. Amr Elsadr:Of course, it'd be nice if we had the elections project handled before next year's council elections. :) Mary Wong:We would hope so, Amr :) Amr Elsadr:I'd like to work on both. Amr Elsadr:But not sure if we decided to work on both in parallel, or not? Terri Agnew:Wolf-Ullrich had to disconnect Mary Wong:Did we lose Lori on AC and phone? Terri Agnew:Lori is still connected on the telephone Mary Wong:OK thanks Terri Amr Elsadr:I'm fine wih that, if others are. Amr Elsadr:If folks have concerns about working on both, I'd find that perfectly understandable. Mary Wong:We will follow up as suggested, to the list, Rudi. Mary Wong:Please mute your mics if not speaking, thanks! Amr Elsadr:Mary's pretty right on this. I was going to suggest that we start with this one if we were going to dig into one at a time. Amr Elsadr:It'll need some work, and best to finish it in good time before next year's elections. Amr Elsadr:No need to rush with a report ot council by January. Amr Elsadr:Plate pretty full for that month anyway. :) Amr Elsadr:I mean the council's plate. Mary Wong:There may not be a need for the SCI to meet as a group if the Sub Teams are formed by January, until the Sub Teams are ready to report back on progress. Mary Wong:So perhaps forming Sub Teams by year-end/early Jan then give them a month to start work, and aim for the next SCI meeting in Feb? Amr Elsadr:Yeah. That sounds good to me. Terri Agnew:Welcome back Wolf-Ulrich Amr Elsadr:Just need to work out a process to help sync the two elections. Amr Elsadr:I might be able to do this within NCUC, but not sure just yet. Will follow up on it. Amr Elsadr:My thought is that any change to the SCI charter on this should only be a last resort if other options do not prove to be feasible. Mary Wong:@Amr, staff agrees with your point Mary Wong:Thanks, Rudi. Mary Wong:Will do, Rudi. Amr Elsadr:15th/17th. All good. :) Amr Elsadr:NCSG Policy Committee needs to make the SCI appointments, not the NCSG Exec. Comm. Rudi Vansnick:ok sorry Amr Amr Elsadr:I should be the one apologizing, not you Rudi. :) Terri Agnew:Welcome Anne Aikman-Scalese Anne Aikman-Scalese:Did I have this at the wrong time? Amr Elsadr:Either you did, or we all did, Anne. ;-) Mary Wong:Sorry, Anne - yes Terri Agnew:Anne is currently only on AC with no audio Anne Aikman-Scalese:HOrrible I apologize. Anne Aikman-Scalese:Coming in now Amr Elsadr:No worries. It happens. :) Amr Elsadr:15th is Tuesday, no? Mary Wong:Yes, Tuesday Amr Elsadr:@Rudi: You really need to stop apologizing!! :) Amr Elsadr:I don't think we need another call this year. Amr Elsadr:Yup. Feb sounds good. We can get back together for Valentine's Day!! :) Martin Silva:than you! Martin Silva:thank* Amr Elsadr:Thanks all. Bye. Martin Silva:bye bye
