Michael, I actually came to the other opinion, that we should schedule regular meetings - but short, since they really help keeping things moving. Out group is small, so findinga regular time should be possible. Alan At 03/06/2013 09:34 AM, Michael Yakushev wrote:
Alan, thank you very much! I think that the agenda of the call today should be fairly simple. 1) Brief (self-)introduction (MichaelY). 2) Alan's proposals (AlanG). 3) Action items // next steps (general discussion). Moreover, if today we agree on Alan's proposals, I think it will be possible for us to minimize the necessity of frequent conf calls, and to do most of our work on-line. See you soon, Michael
2013/6/3 Alan Greenberg <<mailto:alan.greenberg@mcgill.ca>alan.greenberg@mcgill.ca> As a prelude to the meeting, let me try to create a list of what we need to do, and some of the constraints.
Constraints, working backwards: - we are planning to start drafting on Sat Aug 24, with the previous week taken up with travel to Australia and our 3-day meeting. - July 12-18 is the Durban meeting, preceded and followed by a few days travel and recovery. This is the meeting where we plan to solicit input from AC/SO, Board etc. and general attendees - that leaves less than 4 weeks to make some sense of what we heard and get follow-on answers if needed. - we have about 5 weeks before I leave for Durban, and assume your schedules are not too different.
For some of us, there are summer vacations/holidays which might take some time from this schedule. T o the extent that we know those now, it would be good that we all understand if/when individuals have blackout periods.
Work to do: - Carefully (re-)read RT report - Review Excel spreadsheet on Whois-RT implementation Develop any follow-on questions - Make some sense of the discrepancy between how the RT says their Recs were received and the position of ICANN staff and Board. - I think we need some contact with the Expert Panel. Their target as announced before they started was to wrap up already. The messages I am getting now say it will take a LOT longer. Unclear exactly what that means. First step perhaps to ask staff for the current time line. - schedule a follow-up meeting with RT, not just to talk about process, but substance. In the last LA meeting, we generally came to the belief that a few of the Recs were essentially un-implementable as worded. If nothing else, we need to get to the bottom of this.
Overall, I don't think our task is is all that difficult, compared to some of our other ATRT responsibilities, so I would like to get as much of it underway and completed as soon as possible, to allow us to also focus on the other aspects of the RT targets.
Alan
