Julie Hammer:Hi Gisella!
Tijani BEN JEMAA:Hello everybody
Heidi Ullrich:Evan, it is 3 hours earlier for Matt and I!
Carlton Samuels:Hiya all
Alan Greenberg:You are presuming we were listening...
Alan Greenberg:I am here if my name wasn't called.
Carlton Samuels:The audio on the AC bridge is cutting on and off. I will have to switch to the Adigo now
Heidi Ullrich:AIs from ExCom of 17 January - https://community.icann.org/display/alacexcomm/ALAC+ExCom+Action+Items+2013-01-17
Alan Greenberg:Can we please add one AOB item - ICANN Spesakers Bureau.?
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:OK Alan
Tijani BEN JEMAA:you want to make them know what's next about a text that you don't send???
Tijani BEN JEMAA:I don't see it normal
Gisella Gruber-White:Please state your names
Hong Xue 2:Thanks, Gisella, finally got in.
Evan Leibovitch:The two points (Cheryl's and Alan's) are not mutually exclusive. A polite private call *and* a public response may be called for.
Evan Leibovitch:If there is a chain of events that caused Avri to believe she was not admissable (or not welcome) we indeed ought to know about it, if possible without embarassing anyone publicly until we know if this was perhaps just a miscommunications
Alan Greenberg:My point exactly, Evan
Tijani BEN JEMAA:Someone is breathing in the microphone
Tijani BEN JEMAA:please be far from your microphone while you are not speaking
Evan Leibovitch:I head the heavy breathing to. It makes the call sound a bit like a horror movie soundtrack
Evan Leibovitch:hear
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:could be Gisella
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:I'm muted
Tijani BEN JEMAA:no, not at all
Heidi Ullrich:There will be Chinese interpretation in Beijing in many meetings
Tijani BEN JEMAA:olivier, can u remind people to be far from the microphone?
Heidi Ullrich:it will be added to the normal interpretation of FR and ES
Heidi Ullrich:so all APRALO/At-Large meetings that request it, will be able to have Chinese interpretation
Evan Leibovitch:typically, the only rooms equipped for simukltaneous interpretations are the main room, ALAC and more recently GAC rooms
Heidi Ullrich:The Main room is in very high demand
Evan Leibovitch:the GAC and main rooms also have big-screen English real-time transcriptions
Heidi Ullrich:GAC now has interpretation
Evan Leibovitch:(I have frequently used the real-time transcription in lieu of needing to wear earphones)
Evan Leibovitch:Perhaps the GAC room?
Evan Leibovitch:(We still have a heavy breather on the call)
Gisella Gruber-White:Heavy breathing from AC room
Tijani BEN JEMAA:Yes Gisella
Tijani BEN JEMAA:we need an announce to make the breather put the mic far
Evan Leibovitch:Maybe the ExCom has a secret stalker
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:sorry TIjani I'll ask
Evan Leibovitch:just stopped!
Alan Greenberg:Those topics confirm that this is an ICANN session, and not an ALAC one.
Heidi Ullrich:The main meeting room is already fully booked on Monday
Heidi Ullrich:and Wednesday
Heidi Ullrich:There will be topics on most of the topics Hong mentioned already addressed in other meetings
Hong Xue 2:I see. thanks.
Hong Xue 2:I just talked with CNNIC but they haven't got the draft schedule from ICANN.
Hong Xue 2:But if S>I is available in all the rooms, it could be in other big room.
Alan Greenberg:Not so much "protocol" with respect to GSE, but ability to get right resources allocated to a session like this.
Hong Xue 2:okay.
Hong Xue 2:thanks, got it. will do immediately.
Hong Xue 2:sorry line drop, yes, as Alan said it may be out of our local "vanity"_:)
Hong Xue 2:Sorry, it seems the line is busy now. You could call me back at +86-10-82425692,
Carlton Samuels:I'm back!
Carlton Samuels:My ISP is getting on my last good nerve!
Alan Greenberg:HOng, wasn't meant as a vanity staatement. Just that In these cases, ICANN has to a large extent not been responsive. It is natural for each group to see the result from their perspective, but it does show the global importance of these subjects and re-inforces the need to for ICNN to address them properly at this meeting.
Carlton Samuels:Protocol: Rememebr Dakar!!
Hong Xue 2:sure, will do
Hong Xue 2:Thanks and Bye.
Gisella Gruber-White:Thank you Hong
Evan Leibovitch:The substance of the privacy issue is explained -- for better or worse -- by Karl Aurebach's many interventions on the ALAC list recently
Alan Greenberg:Evan, NO!!! He is talking about privacy with respect to Whois. NOT whether thick vs thin changes it.
Evan Leibovitch:oh, sorry. i thought there were a dew thick vs thin thing wrapped up in that
Alan Greenberg:There is a connection. That since major Whois changes may be coming, don't mess with current implementations now.
Alan Greenberg:But since we don't know when that may happen, or what the substance is, I think it a false reason.
Evan Leibovitch:Agreed
