Minutes from conference call on 27^th of July, 2016

Conference call lasted about 40 minutes. Five GP members were on the call. The agenda was:

1. Roll call

2. Review of current status

2a. Status of proposal

2b. Status of GP membership and identification of gaps in membership

3. Discussion on next steps

3a. Identification of tasks (updating the proposal document; increasing membership, others?)

3b. Strategies to address these tasks, working space (Googledocs, ICANN wiki space, something else)

3c. Assignment of tasks to different members

4. AOB

We have discussed some topics from the agenda, not all of them. The conclusions from the discussion are:

1. The GP proposal has to be reedited. Sarmad volunteered to put the material, that we have in current proposal, in a new template as advised by IP. This will be new draft proposal, which will be discussed during future conference calls.

2. My proposal for the cooperation platforms is:

a. All document that we have developed up to now has to be uploaded in our ICANNWIKI space. Every document could be downloaded from this platform for use on the local computer.

· Sarmad can administer our wiki space

· I will make the list of the documents we have and attach it at the end of this mail

· ICANNWIKI link https://community.icann.org/display/croscomlgrprocedure/Latin+GP

b. For the document which needs concurrent editing we could use GoogleDocs. This platform is taking care of different versions of the document.

It will be very practical that every Latin GP member has a Google account in order to log in while editing the document, so that every change made to the document is properly registered. Otherwise, editing and comments from people not logged in with his/her Google account is marked as anonymous.

When one document is uploaded to Googledocs for further development, every Latin GP member will receive, in an e-mail, call for editing or commenting the document and a corresponding link. It is advisable first to log to Google with an account, then to resume further actions on the document.

Any comments, corrections, new proposals for this topic is very welcome.
