I do not think that a long RFP process is needed, but that is a separate topic. I think we will need secretariat support for: - minutes - action item tracking - calendar for meeting and teleconference schedules - mail list management - web pages -- facilitate meeting information distribution -- information dissemination to the public -- wiki pages (or other technology) that allows us to each make edits to content -- posting draft document -- posting meeting minutes, transcripts, audio streams, and so on -- coordinate with ICANN staff on meeting arrangements and media interactions I have assumed that ICANN staff will continue to handle the meeting venue arrangements and travel arrangements.

Frankly I was surprised at the amount of "complications" such as RFPs in this. I am taking no position on this, just expressing surprise and a willingness to understand the issues.
