  Julie Hammer:Is anyone speaking?  I'm not hearing anything!
  Gisella Gruber-White:@ Julie - yes
  Heidi Ullrich:Julie, we're looking into the issue
  Gisella Gruber-White:Julie - as you are only on AC, it must be your computer speakers
  Gisella Gruber-White:can you hear Olivier now?
  Evan Leibovitch:Olivier: just moved the Google Doc CCTC comment to the wiki

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:@Evan thx
  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:Heidi knows most.
  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:No.
  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/7TEeBg
  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:Last comment at bottom of page is latest proposed statement
  Evan Leibovitch:https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/alacpolicydev/pages/102642157/At-Large+Report+of+the+GNSO+WG+on+Consumer+Trust+Consumer+Choice+and+Competition+Workspace#comment-40928995
  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:yes, same text now
  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:you still need to copy Steve, OCL.
  Heidi Ullrich:Evan, was it not agreed by the New gTLD WG to hold a call in two weeks on this?
  Heidi Ullrich:Would this be a sub-committee of the New gTLD WG or Metrics?
  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:LIKE - but then I am biased.  What about Avri's comment?
  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:yes
  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:IN addition, but not instead of.
  Heidi Ullrich:Olivier, should a deadline be given to Edmon?
  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:Good rule of thumb!  Goes into my matrix.
  Heidi Ullrich:FYI - there will be a session on Policy vs. Implementation on Wednesday in Beijing.
  Gisella Gruber-White:Tijani is still not able to join - he will skype us when he is ready
  Heidi Ullrich:Evan, Generic Names is to be the topic of the New gTLD WG call in two weeks, correct?
  Alan Greenberg:off in 5 minutes
  Julie Hammer:Apologies, but I will need to go in a couple of minutes!
  Evan Leibovitch:sorry, just got back
  Julie Hammer:Signing off... Bye everyone!
  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:Thank Julie!
  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:Matt, your AI on Interim Report IDN ccNSO Policy Development Process I think should be: find out from our ccNSO liaison whether she supports the report and whether there are any issues that the ALAC needs to address via a statement and to notify the ALAC if there is.
  Heidi Ullrich:Correct, Olivier, the discussion on the At-Large selection for the Director is scheduled for Sunday afternoon.
  Heidi Ullrich:Correct, Olivier. The discussion on the At-Large director selection is scheduled for Sunday afternoon
  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:Fix the bylaws and clone Alan!
  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:nope.
  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:bye!
  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:Those are big items.
  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:RoP, Beijing, Alan Cloning.
  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:That's enough for 2 hours
  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:Rewview Group
  Heidi Ullrich:good, Rinalia
  Heidi Ullrich:What about the endorsement for the new WG on meetings
  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:LOL
  Evan Leibovitch:Here's something that may be a bit of heresy. Having a part of capacity building that encompasses "leadership building" ... identifying the At-Large and ALS membership with both an interest and aptitude in becoming leaders
  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:why is that heresy?
  Evan Leibovitch:It may be decried as elitist,
  Evan Leibovitch:(There are a few people in NARALO that I have personally -- and privately -- targeted for getting them more deeply involved)
  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:THat's good and proactive.
  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:I think all Liaisons shoudl be doing this.  Excom too.
  Heidi Ullrich:Also, thre should be an update on the FBSC - FY15 budget planning
  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:Defer FBSB - it's procedural.
  Heidi Ullrich:ok
  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:ha ha h a
  Heidi Ullrich:LOL - Olivier ;)
  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:Only Review Group is important for this particular time given that it is rejecting every objection except for .health.
  Tijani BEN JEMAA:Hello
  Heidi Ullrich:Welcome, Tijani!
  Tijani BEN JEMAA:Sorry, I just arrived
  Tijani BEN JEMAA:waiting for the call
  Heidi Ullrich:I will do that this week, Olivier.
  Gisella Gruber-White:@ Tijani - we are calling you
  Evan Leibovitch:"I'm here for a good time, not a long time" - famous Canadian pop song
  Heidi Ullrich:Sorry for that strange noise!
  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:Not without a specific agenda/set of issues
  Gisella Gruber-White:@ Olivier - we are doing this
  Gisella Gruber-White:Please REMEMBER when good to go again.
  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:yes thanks
  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:sorry, I lost audio when Tijani was speaking.
  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:My preference: small group/private setting with their new leadership.
  Tijani BEN JEMAA:dropped
  Tijani BEN JEMAA:call again
  Gisella Gruber-White:@ Tijani - we are calling you back
  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:Tracey and Peter + Heather
  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:Do both.
  Evan Leibovitch:+1 Rinalia
  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:It depends on commonality of interests and convergence
  Tijani BEN JEMAA:no
  Evan Leibovitch:Rather than leadership only, make it Excom and any GAC member who RSVPs
  Gisella Gruber-White:@ Tijani - we are trying your numbers
  Tijani BEN JEMAA:i agree
  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:Again, it depends on the topic of discussion.  GAC has specific leads on different issues.
  Heidi Ullrich:Paul Wilson is the new NRO Chair
  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:APNIC
  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:oops :-)

  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:thank you heidi!
  Alan Greenberg:I could use one of those right now.
  Evan Leibovitch:for the newer newcomers :-)
  Evan Leibovitch:The double espresso I had at the start of the call is starting to wear off
  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:no idea
  Evan Leibovitch:One of the ISOC meetings in beijing (whichever one Olivier will attend) will be a "soft launch" of ISOC Canada
  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:nice.
  Evan Leibovitch:Full national launch April 17, the week after
  Alan Greenberg:@Evan, this my 5th hour of teleconference today...
