April 2016 ccNSO Update

*ccNSO Council Meeting (14 April, 1am for me) - Katrina's first meeting as the new Council Chair

•  Katrina introduced a new wiki space for Councillors outlining working groups and members and their activities, etc ; meetings and documents; ccNSO workplan,  etc that the Council may want to keep tabs on. This is an alternative to the ccNSO website which members cannot interact with. 
• With Katrina moving into the leadership role, the new Chair of the ccNSO Programme WG is now Councillor Alejandra Reynoso. Ron and I will work with Alejandra and Katrina with regards to our joint ALAC-ccNSO meetings.
• There was some discussion about transparency and Nigel Roberts asked why council working group meetings are traditionally closed even when confidential matters were not being discussed. ccNSO general meetings are open. Bart suggested that in future all meetings should be open to observers unless they are specifically designated as closed. A resolution will be drafted by Nigel and taken to the list for a vote. 
• The meeting discussed the Block schedule for the Helsinki meeting. They are prioritising a meeting with the GAC to discuss the ccTLD survey they did.
• The meeting lasted a little longer than usual so that updates, etc were transferred to the list. The meeting ended at 2.15am.

* Analysis of ccNSO membership since 2003. Asia Pacific shows regular growth with respect to annual membership applications.  They now have 158 members, with Barbados (.bb) being its newest member.
