Hi all, I have updated the Action Items list (attached and in Dropbox). It proposes specific timelines for a number of items that we agreed to work on and lists who the owners are — whether the full ICG or some specific person. Please respond ASAP if you think any of these deadlines need to be changed. I’ve tried to synthesize various conversations in other threads to come up with these. In places where “Secretariat” is listed as the owner, I can work with them to get materials posted if necessary. == Secretariat description == Comments due by July 31 Adiel to produce an updated version by Aug 4 Final version to be published and advertised by Aug 7 assuming we reach agreement on content == Communities RFP == Comments due by Aug 1 Paul to produce an updated version by Aug 5 Draft version to be published to communities by Aug 8 (acknowledging its draft-y nature). == Meeting minutes == Comments due by Aug 7 Final versions to be published by Aug 13 == Charter == Originally I think we were hoping to have received all charter comments roughly by Aug 1. Mohamed has made a proposal that we setup an explicit mechanism to solicit community feedback on the charter and announce a clear deadline for comments. I have not seen anyone oppose this proposal. So my suggestion is that I work with the secretariat to get an email alias (not a mailing list) up and running where community members can send comments if they are not able to convey them via an ICG member (which I still think is the preferred approach in general for charter comments). Comments sent to this alias would be directly reflected on a web page that we can setup. Assuming we can get this working by July 31, I suggest that we announce an Aug 8 deadline for charter comments. This is not a lengthy period of time but I think we had a general sense that it’s most important to get the broad outlines of the charter right rather than spending weeks on the details, so hopefully this will be sufficient. Once the comments come in, Jari will have the token to produce an updated version which we can hopefully come to consensus on in the second half of August. One last comment: I know that people were not very warm to the idea of having a conference call in August before we meet face-to-face. However, with all of these deliverables coming up and with us sorting out our decision making processes as we go, I tend to think that having a call during the week of August 11 or August 18 would be beneficial. Of course some folks will be on holiday and whatnot but it might still help to touch base in real time for an hour. Can I interest anyone in that? ;-) Thanks, Alissa
