Matt Ashtiani: Eduardo Diaz, 25 points, 18.52%

Evan Leibovitch: Ragarding the first issue ... the one regarding getting the gTLD-WG to come up with an objection procedure... I am able to do this but it would require pulling back from my involvement in JAS.  I will defer to advice here whether my effort is still needed in JAS even if it impairs my ability to properly mobilise the objection process

Carlton Samuels: HIya all

CLO: Sorry Evan  were into WhoIs-RT

Evan Leibovitch: OK.

Evan Leibovitch: didn't see it on the agenda

Evan Leibovitch: (BTW, I've seen Carlton on the chat, so he's a participant rather than an apology

Evan Leibovitch: )

CLO: OK  so  all candidate for RT resulta  go to Rod and Heather for info  with the BG naterial / SoI's  of the 1st and 2nd  pref candidate   being added  as the 'prioritised'  offers  for considerations

CLO: he IS in the voice call   Yes

CLO: ALAC  objections  process  AI listed  as  Ongoing  in process and NEXT  review Point will be AT  Dakar

Evan Leibovitch: Are there any deadlines of which we need to be aware?

Evan Leibovitch: Ie, do we need some kind of report ready for Dakar? or can we engage in active polict work there?

CLO: APRALO actioned this matter of openness of ALL our Calls  but  more push to the lists would be good

CLO: ALL  calls  RALO  ALAC  ExCom  etc.,

Carlton Samuels: Call got dropped!

CLO: just  to clarify   this wouod also be good to have  up in a Wiki page some where    Yes  all Open WG  as well

Carlton Samuels: back

Evan Leibovitch: Any answer to my question about the objection process?

CLO: see above

CLO: CLO: ALAC  objections  process  AI listed  as  Ongoing  in process and NEXT  review Point will be AT  DakarEvan Leibovitch: Are there any deadlines of which we need to be aware?Evan Leibovitch: Ie, do we need some kind of report ready for Dakar? or can we engage in active polict work there?

CLO: So  Yes  Dakear  is a deadlin

Carlton Samuels: Note Mat:  Please update the participants list; I am on the call.

Carlton Samuels: Matt

Seth Greene: No problem, Carlton.

Carlton Samuels: Thanks Seth, much obliged

Evan Leibovitch: Don't know what "review point" means.  How much needs to be done?

CLO: type again Dakae is a report and interaction with wider group deadline  so will need Pre Dakar prep

Evan Leibovitch: my meeting is running long

CLO: Yes Metrics  on strat plan(s)  punt to Dakar  Ditto  finding requests   etc.,

CLO: I'll do my best to keep y9u in the loop via chat  here

CLO: Note  RALO's need to do prep work on several things Pre Dakar  so ask for update / edit  of their wish lists  pre  DAKAR

Carlton Samuels: @CLO +1: Let Budget Committee finalize the plan offers

CLO: yup

Carlton Samuels: @OCL:  SHould staff come to Finance & Budget Ctte meeting depends on how far we get..

Carlton Samuels: If  B&F Cttee comes back with a nesar finalized framework then yes, enough meat to have Finance  senior staff

Carlton Samuels: We delegated to the B&F Cttee so no need for the entire ALAC to meet with Board Finance Cttee

CLO: noy sure that what Tijani is proposing needs to happen ION Dakar  though

CLO: I think the timing  is out

Carlton Samuels: @CLO +1.  Board Finance needs to be aware of the framework for the development!

CLO: Framework   for Dakar  re  Objections matter

CLO: it would be good to have the RALO leaders  brought up t speed on the matter  In Dakar  so they can help move the discussions INTO the Regions & ALSes  post Dakar  pre  #43 meeting

Carlton Samuels: @CLO: +1: Reason enough to have it on the agenda at Dakar

CLO: yes indeed

Evan Leibovitch: Agree with OCKL about the flurry of activity. Some of that flurry is the creatrion of schedules for the meeting. I just want to ensure that "Objection procesure" is on ALAC's agenda

CLO: It IS  Evan it IS

Carlton Samuels: I just cannot hear Tijani!

Evan Leibovitch: don't know if it's worth mentioning here, but in some ways Dakar presents even tougher issues than Nairobi regarding stability and attendance by some

CLO: Asia  and Oceania   are big issues  for Visa this time...   most NZZ people  can just Not get Visa because they can not afford to NOT have theor passposrts  for months *and it takes  months in our cases)

Evan Leibovitch: http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5iHevFLvL05jGtXe2I2PyGraY-xZA?docId=CNG.fe768764ef7d83a788e89cdd526cf0de.7b1

CLO: Visas need to be managed  at the local Consulate  that is the issue

Evan Leibovitch: i hear the same noise as tijani

CLO: we can hardly hear you as well Tijani  and  yes hear the same noise

CLO: Yes  MANY are duplicated  from ALAC'

CLO: Combined and YAGGED  would be great

CLO: TAGGED  noy Uagged

CLO: nor Yagged

CLO: Thanks  for updating the AC room  Agenda  *always NICE*  IF our resources actually MATCH  

CLO:  I am NOT Suppotive of shifting  the AC's  calls  for a mere E WG

CLO: shifting ExCom is NOT a proter the AC call is soon af

CLO: but do NOT shift the AC meeting

CLO: Remember  as long as the ALAC is quorate then it is OK  so ALAC people need to be IN the Voice of the ALAC and can stay in the AC of the JAS as well as AC  for ALAC

CLO: going from one to the other is fine

Tijani: reopped

Tijani: droped

Tijani: can adigo call me again

Matt Ashtiani: http://www.atlarge.icann.org/file/26213/download/27241

Gisella Gruber-White: dialling out to Tijani again

Tijani: ok, thanks Gisella

Tijani: waiting

Gisella Gruber-White: we are not getting an answer Tijani - we are trying agian

Olivier Crepin-Leblond: are you back on, Tijani?

Tijani: I'm back

CLO: This Acadamy  (as a  concept ) also CAN strengthen IMO  the establishment in the ICANN mindset of the need FOR capacity building 

CLO: I'm stepping  away from AC room for a short while  forgive any BG noise that occur

Evan Leibovitch: no need for .mobi ... just use m.icann.org instead of www

Evan Leibovitch: I can help with G+ if need be> I already have a pretty well-fleshed-out ICANN circle.

Evan Leibovitch: People put nice stuff into G+ .... like wedding videos ;-)

Olivier Crepin-Leblond: http://gnso.icann.org/calendar/

Evan Leibovitch: This is where a typical wiki falls down

Evan Leibovitch: Conventional CMSs (like Joomla or Drupal or even wordpress) do much better at that kind of thing than wikis

Evan Leibovitch: closing thought for the day: dress up when you travel: http://travel.usatoday.com/experts/hobica/story/2011/08/Fly-Guy-Do-well-dressed-fliers-get-more-perks/49862316/1

CLO: And I can bearly hear Tijani

CLO: and he can hardly hear me

Evan Leibovitch: I had EXCELLENT call quality calling from Uganda to Canada using Google Voice

CLO: Perhaps  G can follow up on this with ICANN and ADIGO

Carlton Samuels: Have to go y'all

Carlton Samuels: Tijani is in a spot because its difficult to hear him

CLO: I suspect we all do Carlton  but  thanks

Carlton Samuels: ..and it is a bitch and a half to show up and nobody can hear him!

CLO: Thanks OCL

Carlton Samuels: thanks all!

CLO: Indeed

CLO: Thanks ALL\
