Adobe Chat Transcript 08 October 2015

   Terri Agnew:Welcome to the Standing Committee on Improvements Implementation meeting teleconference on Thursday, 08 October 2015

  Amr Elsadr:Hi all. Apologies for being late.

  Anne Aikman-Scalese (IPC, Chair):Hi AMr - thanks for joining!

  Mary Wong:@Julie, that is right, thanks

  Terri Agnew:Members wiki page: https://community.icann.org/x/MYHg

  Amr Elsadr:Does the NomCom appoint directly to the SCI, or is it the NomCom appointees to the G-council who participate here?

  Amr Elsadr:The SCI charter isn't very clear on this.

  Mary Wong:@Amr, it's the Nom Com Council appointees that can be on the SCI

  Amr Elsadr:Thanks Mary. The charter is kinda vague. :)

  Mary Wong:If it helps, looking at it the other way, there is no provision in the NomCom's structure for them to appoint directly to the SCI, which is a GNSO Council-formed group and operates along the WG Guidelines of the GNSO.

  Amr Elsadr:I guess that does help, although I know very little about how the NomCom works. An enigma to me. :)

  Amr Elsadr:As part of the SCI update to the G-Council during the weekend sessions, I would expect this to be included.

  Amr Elsadr:Thanks Mary and Julie.

  Amr Elsadr:..., for the reminder. :)

  Julie Hedlund:@Amr: That is the plan -- to include it in the update :-)

  Julie Hedlund:@Anne: I will produce a letter.  Send to you first and then to the list with the documentation for last call.

  Mary Wong:Staff brings up Liaison issues in the Wrap Up as a standard practice

  Mary Wong:As in, we routinely go through all the WGs to see what office holders are stepping down and if there are any gaps that need to be filled

  Julie Hedlund:All -- the meeting on 17 October at 8-9 am is in Liffey Meeting Room 2

  Mary Wong:@Anne, we don't know either but that's why we changed the time for your update :)

  Julie Hedlund:Here's an interactive venue map:
