Team — I am traveling during this week’s call, so apologies for not being able to join you. 

Per last week’s discussion, I made some edits to our Track 1 document (link) 

1. Revised Transparency best practice recommendation #4 (page 4 and below)

4. Meetings and calls of SO/ACs and subgroups should normally be open to public observation.   When a meeting is determined to be members-only, that should be explained publicly, giving specific reasons for holding a closed meeting. 

2. Added Mark Carvel’s point about GAC outreach to non-member states (page 6)

3. Added actionable text to Farsi’s draft best practice recommendations for Outreach. (page 5, and below)

1. Each AC/SO should publish newsletters or other communications that can help eligible non-members to understand the benefits and process of becoming a member. 
2. Each AC/SO should maintain a publicly- accessible website/wiki pages to advertise their outreach events and opportunities 
3. Each AC/SO should consider creating a committee to manage outreach programs to attract additional  eligible members, particularly from parts of their targeted community that may not be adequately participating.
4. Outreach objectives and potential activities should be mentioned in AC/SO bylaws, charter, or procedures
5. Each AC/SO should have a strategy for outreach to parts of their targeted community that may not be adequately participating at the time.

Regards,

Steve
