Steve: we received a very detailed response from ALAC.
Transparency:
Steve walked through the document he produced, and opened discussion on the draft recommendation proposed regarding SO/AC transparency.
Kavouss: 4th bullet - I would suggest that SO/AC meetings be normally open, and closed meetings be an exception, and be so declared, with an explanation.
No objection from group, text will be edited to reflect this change.
Outreach:
Steve walked through the BC's response on outreach.
Mark Carvell UK GAC rep: GAC has membership of 170 national and territory government. We outreach to the remaining governments through the
biennial High Leel Governmental Meeting when Minsters from GAC and NonGAC member governments are invited. Also individual governments and
IGOs also do outreach to the non-members - e.g. UK has been in contact with Bangladesh administration.
This will be added to GAC's response.
Steve walked through the draft recommendation drafted by Farzaneh, and outlined that these recommendations are less specific than the ones on transparency.
Greg: these should be further developed.
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): I can not speak for ALAC of course but I suspect they and At-Large also would see 'effective' Outreach being strengthened as important
Farzaneh: I agree and will modify the recommendations to be more action oriented.
Mark Carvell UK GAC rep: Agree - important to make specific recommendations in this exercise to SOs and ACs "to consider adopting as general practice...."
Steve DelBianco: For example, I would restate Recc 5 to be: Each AC/SO should have a strategy for outreach to parts of their targeted community that
may not be adequately represented at the time.
Kavouss: I agree it should be more textual.
Action (Outreach sub team): reach out to the group through the mailing list to collect additional inputs and further develop the recommendations on the Outreach section.
Participation:
Kavouss: Participation needs to discussed.
Steve: the topic of participation has not been worked on by this subgroup, we won't be able to cover this topic today.
4. Next Meeting and future Meeting schedule
· 09 February @ 05:00 UTC
· 16 February @ 13:00 UTC
· 02 March @ 05:00 UTC
5. AOB and review of any AI's.
Suggestion for topics for discussion for next week? We also need volunteers to draft recommendations by then.
Steve: I would suggest to discuss participation
Mark Carvell UK GAC rep: Agreed - diversity of active participation in policy matters and development is crucial issue.
Cheryl: suggest we limit the discussion to Participation methods and mechanisms.
Tatiana volunteers to work on this topic.

Mark Carvell UK GAC rep: (13:41) Agree - important to make specific recommendations in this exercise to SOs and ACs "to consider adopting as general practice...."
Steve DelBianco: (13:41) For example, I would restate Recc 5 to be: Each AC/SO should have a strategy for outreach to parts of their targeted community that may not be adequately represented at the time.
Farzaneh Badii: (13:43) Thanks Steve
Mark Carvell UK GAC rep: (13:46) @Farzaneh -excuse my typos in the text and please tweak to read "...biennial ICANN High Level Governmental Meeting...."
Farzaneh Badii: (13:46) noted Mark
Kavouss Arasteh: (13:47) Mark ,may you further elaborate what do you mean by that
Steve DelBianco: (13:47) Mark, here is whatI added to the doc: GAC has membership of 170 national and territory government. GAC does outreach to the remaining governments through the biennial ICANN High Level Governmental Meeting, where Ministers from GAC and Non-GAC member governments are invited. Also, individual governments and IGOs also do outreach to the non-members - e.g. UK has been in contact with Bangladesh administration.
Steve DelBianco: (13:48) Participaton and Accountability are the 2 topics we need to review and recommend next

Mark Carvell UK GAC rep: (13:48) No need to refer to the UK example of individual outreach in the text.
Mark Carvell UK GAC rep: (13:50) @ Kavouss - not sure what you are querying. In London we invited Saudi Arabia, Lesotho and Bangladesh for example.
Mark Carvell UK GAC rep: (13:51) Agreed - diversity of active participation in policy matters and development is crucial issue.
