  Heidi Ullrich:Monday:

  Heidi Ullrich:Agenda:     Discussion of At-Large Objection Process    Update on Applicant Support    New gTLD Roll-Out Issues - Next Steps

  Nathalie  Peregrine:Fouad and Andrew have just joined the call

  Heidi Ullrich:Translations will be posted shortly

  Heidi Ullrich:Still finalizing the EN agendas!

  Heidi Ullrich:Invitions to Kurt and Karla have been extended.

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Will the Independent Objector be in Prague? Is there a need for the new gTLD WG to meet with the IO? (Can't think of anything specific, atm)

  Hong Xue:agree that IO joins the second one.

  Evan Leibovitch:If you think about it, at one level the IO is like applicant support for the objection process. Those with the cash to launch their own objections will do so. Those without means will use the IO.

  Evan Leibovitch:I don't believe there is any publicly available docs on the IO outside of materials used when hiring.

  Evan Leibovitch:and the AG

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Nothing new re: IO from the AGB other than the announcement of the IO

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr:hmm

  Hong Xue:We are also application support for objection. Only support ALSes.

  Heidi Ullrich:Would you like Michael Salazar, New gTLD Program director to be invited?

  Evan Leibovitch:One issue needing resolving is the budget allocated IO because this will create an effective limit to how many IO objectioons can be raised

  Heidi Ullrich:He might be able to participate remotely.

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr:Well as we meet in Roma  that should work Heidi

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:actually in the Twitter chat with Rod, in response to question "How does ICANN justify spending $25M of applicants' money for an Independent Objector?", ICANN answered "Not just for IndObj, funds for objections cover community-developed obj processes inc. ALAC & Gov't"

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/announcements-and-media/transcript-ceo-twitter-22may12-en

  Hong Xue:Hi, isn't it 25K? or 25M?

  Evan Leibovitch:For a few days of tourism after the meeting, I'll be at the Hotel Lippert in the old town. Half the price of the Hilton.

  Nathalie  Peregrine 2:Carlton Samuels has joined the AC room

  Fouad:hmm

  Evan Leibovitch:"The central committee"? :-)

  Carlton Samuels:@Avri:  The ALAC position on CMR?

  avri:Evan, sorry the proper name slipped my mind at that moment.

  Nathalie  Peregrine 2:Rudi Vansnick sends his apology

  avri:https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/display/atlarge/Objection+Process

  Evan Leibovitch:IMO we're spending too much time pondering what the GNSO Council might do, and where it crosses from policy to micromanagement of implementation

  Andrew Mack:agree with you Evan

  Carlos Dionisio Aguirre:@Evan Agree with you

  Carlton Samuels:@Alan: Staff called for help in framing the implementation AFTER the JAS recommendations were made.  The request was discussed in the JAS Group and a decision was made to task a small volunteer group to re-convene to help Staff frame the implementation.  We agreed the Co-Chairs + 2 others would be appropriate.  I ceded my position to Cintra.

  Carlton Samuels:The GNSO cannot claim any right to direct this action.  The chartered commitments were already delivered.

  avri:I guess I worry about g-council throwing in wrenches.

  Carlton Samuels:@Avri: Suspect you know these personalities better than me but I would see 'em...and raise 'emn!

  avri:https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/display/atlarge/Rollout+Issues

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:@Hong, re: budget to IO, according to draft FY13 Operating Plan and Budget: http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/op-budget-fy13-01may12-en.htm , Page 61 projects an allocation of $6.2 million if 500 applications would be received, an allocation of $12.4 million if 1000 applications received and an allocation of $24.8 million if 2000 applications received

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Page 61-64

  Fouad 2:Deliotte has been already selected?

  Hong Xue:can I have a follow-up to Alan?

  Fouad 2:oh okay, just read Hong's update in the summary

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Actually there was an update to the objection process posted to the new gTLD space on ICANN.org : http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/en/program-status/objection-dispute-resolution
