Hi everyone,

Attached please find our agenda for our meeting tomorrow, April 18^th at 15:00 UTC.  We will begin with a follow-up from last week’s meeting regarding how do we wish to define “Community” and any other community related issues you may care to bring up.

We will then shift our focus to Applicant Freedom of Expression in preparation for the geo-names intersessional meetings on the 25^th.

Also, we wanted to share with you the attached spreadsheet which staff had previously prepared that captures all of the CPEs that were conducted, the results, related requests for reconsideration, and some other basic details along with the scoring (community establishment, nexus, registration policies, endorsement, and total) and calculated the average and median scores for each.  We will look at this in more depth in one of our future calls after we pick back up the CPE topic, but please prepare your questions/comments on this as you have time.  Discussion on the list is always welcome.

Thanks & I look forward to speaking with you all tomorrow.

Karen
