Notes/Action Items:

Action Items:

1. Charter for Recommendations 24/25:
1. Staff will research Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group (NCSG) and Commercial Stakeholder Group (CSG) procedures for evaluating constituency applications and include this information in the revised charter.
2. Staff will determine if there are publicly available links to all constituency applications and include them in the charter.
3. Staff will provide information on how the RySG and RrSG evaluate requests for membership and provide that information to the WG as well as adding it to the Google document concerning questions that may be outside the scope of a charter.
4. Staff will send the revised charter to the list, and call out the question concerning presumption of constituency application approval.
2. Additional Charters: Staff should prepare additional charters for consideration at the meeting on 08 June.

Discussion Notes on the Charter for Recommendations 24/25: 

-- Question: When we are talking about the process are we assuming the process is the same for the Constituencies and Stakeholder Groups are the same? 

-- NCSG -- Open to have constituencies.  CSG - Not functioning as a Stakeholder Group, so adding new constituencies can be challenging.  How do RySG and RrSG do it?

-- Question: Is it appropriate to have a default of acceptance if all requirements are met? 

-- There are internal processes on how to include the constituency.  There are elements like the charter, for example.  Depends on how the SG sets up its own procedure.  The option makes sense.
