High Level Notes:

• Agenda Bashing & Introductions
  • Tomslin has been appointed by the GNSO council as Co-Chair
• Proposed Rules of Engagement
  • Rules of Engagement have been presented and are based on the normal procedures used in other reviews and will be adopted as our operational model during our next call.  
  •  Principles of Operations are very helpful and provide an ethical commitment for members to best represent their committees.
• Proposed Regular meetings
  • Meetings will occur every two weeks. The first two meetings will take place at the same time zone 17:00 UTC- 18:30 UTC.  The following meetings will be shifted to accommodate team members in other time zones.
  • IFR team to decide if weekly meetings will be needed once the team begins drafting the initial and draft reports.
  • The Rules of Engagement, Work Plan and Scope of Work documents will lay out the expected workload for the IFR.
  • The schedule of meetings through ICANN 67 will be helpful for the team to prepare and understand workload based on the work plan.
• Mandate
  • Special attention to sections 18.3 & 18.4
  • Sections 18.3 & 18.4 of the ICANN BYLAWS explain the scope of the IFR review, inputs we will be receiving and the substantive information in our mandate.
  • The IFR team should have an in depth knowledge of sections 18.3 & 18.4 and will conduct a detailed review of both sections, as they provides clarity on the narrow scope of work for the review.
  • Kim Davies and his team will provide any educational material needed by the IFR team on the IANA Functions.
  • The IFR team to decide later down the road if subgroups will be beneficial for restricted work such as non-published reports ie. the SOC 2 report or to conduct a onsite tour of the LA office.
