  Gisella Gruber:Murray has joined the call
  Murray McKercher (in Toronto):sorry I am late
  Cheryl Langdon-Orr:EXACTLY  that is an ESSENTIAL point
  Cheryl Langdon-Orr: our new text  catches  that
  Alan Greenberg:Yes, we did consult, and had MUCH discussion in the group at that time.
  Murray McKercher (in Toronto):Excuse me if this is a question from apoint of ignorance, however, are there not rules that this group could adopt from another governance group in ICANN, or os this indeed a "new" process?
  Cheryl Langdon-Orr:We aussies are not the onlkky oines  to use this  but  TRANSARANCY is lso key then
  Cheryl Langdon-Orr:sorry  about the typos
  Andrew Mack:Predictability is a good thing
  Andrew Mack:Question: what about people who ask not to name a second choice?
  Alan Greenberg:NOTE it is not just what Cheryl and I are proposing. It is whet the At-Large group that established the process decided upon.
  Alan Greenberg:If we are going to reopen the issue, we are going to have to go to At-Large again. Do we really wantto revisit that?????
  Cheryl Langdon-Orr:INdeed Alan  
  Cheryl Langdon-Orr:and Hel no to the reopening  issue
  Cheryl Langdon-Orr:Yes  thus our use of references  like  Wikipaedia   in our document  that is as close to plain language as you cxan get ion these things
  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Alan's and Cheryl's recommendations appear appropriate. Also, Andrew's suggestion of making this easy to understand for At-Large is crucial. It may be some infographics are needed to illustrate the concept.
  Cheryl Langdon-Orr:agree  these days infographics are around and VERY useful
  Gisella Gruber:Maureen has lost internet connection but still on the phone bridge
  Cheryl Langdon-Orr:NO  Tijiani   IF change is desired  on THIS  one  exercise  it is up to all of At-Large (or even wider community  to discuss and decide NOT the ALAC
  Gisella Gruber:Siranush has joined the call - welcome
  Gisella Gruber:And Heidi has joined the call
  Siranush Vardanyan:sorry for late arrival, just back from US Embassy
  Andrew Mack:team, I unfortunately need to leave in 5 minutes.  are there any other issues on which we want the team to weigh in on that I can contribute, or are we sticking with the election issue for the rest of the call?
  Siranush Vardanyan:with received visa:)
  Roberto:Good, Siranush!
  Cheryl Langdon-Orr:excellent Siranush
  Siranush Vardanyan:thanks, Roberto and Cheryl
  Andrew Mack:need to go team.  good luck with the rest of the call...
  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:take care, Andrew
  Fatimata:Bye Andrew
  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Re-reading the suggestions for RoP, perhaps what could make it easier to understand, would be to reorder in sequence of the number of candidates remaining
  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:So 19..11.2 is the situation for one candidate, then the next rule deals with two candidates, then the next rule deals with 3 candidates
  Murray McKercher (in Toronto):I must leave the call for another in 5 minutes, but will review the transcript and associated documents
  Maureen Hilyard:Hi all been offline because of local outage, but agree with the conversation which I have been following on the phone bridge about the process having clear guidelines, is consistent and as Olivier said is "as painless as possible" :)
  Jordi Iparraguirre:some are corner cases. as far as voting procedures are public , procedire committee can decide in cases not cleared by rules
  Heidi Ullrich:Could there be text that the process starts after the first meeting but no later than the second meeting?
  Jordi Iparraguirre:better say a month, not a meeting
  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:A challenge for a conferenece call with candidates is while desirable, is the timing of the call if there are more than 3 candidates on the Final Candidate list.
  Roberto:I will email the team and explain the cases in which we had confidentiality problems
  Fatimata:I agree with Roberto about the importance of the 360 evaluation.  It can help a lot during the selection process of a candidate who is asking for re-selection
  Jordi Iparraguirre:agree
  Roberto:@Alan: I have heard that as well, but I still believe that we have to build our procedures being independent from what the Board will decide to do in the future
  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:;-) Perhaps the tech used for nomcom for processing applications could be used instead of the wiki (assuming the methodology of the Nomcom works well)
  Heidi Ullrich:Have a good holiday, Alan!
  Heidi Ullrich:Bye, All
  Roberto:Bye all
  Jordi Iparraguirre:great work, thanks!
  Fatimata:Thank you Tijani and all
  Fatimata:Bye
  Siranush Vardanyan:thank you all and bye
