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

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
