EL: I maintain that the CCCI group is a sham that does not at ALL indicates the real interests of end users.
CLO: Regarding RoP, perhaps OCL would like to have a Q&A regarding new RoPs. To do so however, we will need to schedule it effectively.
OCL: Do you think the RoP WG will have completed enough work to warrant a vote?
CLO: Yes, I do.
AG: ALAC may be tasked with educating the world, but we are not fully equipped to do so.
EL: This is not a matter of us filling our purpose or not. We need greater control over resources to fulfil our mandate.
OCL: No meeting with the Regsitrants during the RRR WG, perhaps in Toronto
OCL: The SOI template will soon be completed. Ken Bour has agreed to help us. I think we should review the questions already in the template as they are GNSO related
CLO: I think we should maintain some of the questions already there
AG: I ask that the ALAC provide me with a Statement should the ALAC wish to make its position official. Otherwise, I will speak clearly on my own behalf.

AG: The IO/RC DT should be disbanded.

TBJ: Regarding the GNSO Council, we need a Councillor and not a volunteer. This will change their view of the Academy and the output of work by the Academy.

OCL: Regarding the IANA Contract renewal, I have receiver notice that the ontract is under renegotiation but that it is too sensitive to be fully discussed.
