Seth Greene: Hello, everyone.

Eric Brunner-Williams: howdy seth

Eric Brunner-Williams: i'm not hearing anything but muzak on the bridge ... am i early>

Eric Brunner-Williams: ans: yes. an hour early. idiot me.

Seth Greene: Hi, Eric.  Yes, I'm afraid you're a bit early.  (Better than late.)

Eric Brunner-Williams: perhaps. late has its own rewards.

Olivier Crepin-Leblond: All of the links are wrong on the posted agenda

Olivier Crepin-Leblond: it's the icann VPN

Olivier Crepin-Leblond: AI: this will need to be fixed

Olivier Crepin-Leblond: :-)

Olivier Crepin-Leblond: We renamed it "Groundhog Day"

Evan Leibovitch: dive bomb

Seth Greene: I'll look into it, Olivier.  As you pt out, it's occurred before.  It happens in some, though not all cases in which a link is copied/pasted.  IT is still looking into the problem.

Darlene Thompson: I will be posting today's minutes and will try to catch all of the missed links for today's at least.

Joly MacFie: ALS recruitment is something we should make a priority

Gordon Chillcott: Ageed, Alan

Gordon Chillcott: You still have the learning curve problem

Joly MacFie: 2.30pm

avri: Did you specifically request feedback?

avri: you can request feedback.

Evan Leibovitch: regarding holding a NARALO meeting from Singapore. Singapore is exactly 12 hours off Eastern North America

Evan Leibovitch: Current time in Singapore is 03:53

Darlene Thompson: Evan - we don't need to.  Our regular meeting is one week before

Darlene Thompson: No we don't

avri: Does ALAC think that having the US DOC agree with it is a good thing?

Olivier Crepin-Leblond: My own opinion is that it's scary.

Seth Reiss: bye

Evan Leibovitch: @avri... when it suits. Even the USG can be right occasionally

avri: actually i have a lot of respect for the NTIA folks.

Evan Leibovitch: Right now ALAC positions, at different times, have been in sync each of the ICANN stakeholders

Evan Leibovitch: And -- thoough we took heat for it (as you know) found ourselves closer to the GAC positoon on the DAG than that of th ICANN Board. Not everywhere, but in some critical areas.

avri: yeah, i know, that is what i found so alienating.  but i am still grateful to lbe able to isten into the meeting

avri: on the .net thing, i will look thrpough the contractual conditions material to see if there is a loop hole where ALAC conceren for public interst + a clause i think is in there about not providing adequate service (i foget the wording hence my need to research) could not be combined into an intersting statement. at thos point what you need is a small crack to start the discussion from.  will get back to you.

avri: the right of renewal was not upheld by the task force.  it was left opne to further study.
