Yesim Nazlar:Welcome everyone!
Maureen Hilyard:Good morning all
Wafa Dahmani:hello everybody

Daniel K. Nanghaka:it is afternoon here in uganda
Yesim Nazlar:Hi Xavier, they are activated
Glenn McKnight:hi
Daniel K. Nanghaka:hi
Glenn McKnight:I am in Washington at the Southern School of Internet Governance
Glenn McKnight:no sound
Xavier Calvez:@Yesim, thanks.
Glenn McKnight:i am muted at a meeting
Maureen Hilyard:yes
Kaili Kan:Hi! Finally connected. Took over 20 minutes...
Yesim Nazlar:Welcome Kaili
Alan Greenberg:Where was the delay Kaili?
Alan Greenberg:Are noises coming from Xavier's line, or somewhere else?
Kaili Kan:@Alan I have to use VPN to get around the Great Fire Wall. However, over the last month it has not been working well, for reasons you can imagine. : (
Kaili Kan:As well as to use gmail to send and receive emails.
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:How exciting!!! New Acronyms!!!!!! :-)
Yesim Nazlar:@Alan: Xavier is on the AC, no other connection
Yesim Nazlar:will try to determine if coming from someone else
Maureen Hilyard:@Olivier - you are so easily entertained
Yesim Nazlar:@Alan: not coming from anyone else's line. Most probably it's something related with his PC mic
Maureen Hilyard:But thanks for the question about acronyms, Alan
Alan Greenberg:For a transparent organization, simple acronym changes without announcements can wreck havoc... MSSI was discussed following the announcement of a new mailing list address, but they did not use the acronym. Still, not the right wayto make such announcements.
Sébastien:But we have also old acronyms still alive
Kaili Kan:@Olivier Not so exciting if being blocked into a LAN yourself. : (
Maureen Hilyard:@Kaili - your communication issues highlight an important issue that needs to be discussed n Beijing
Kaili Kan:@Maureen I will not discuss this in public, especially not in China.
Maureen Hilyard:We will discuss this ourselves about how to engage our ALS members
Glenn McKnight:@Allan it's tough to get information on the performance and metrics on past GA's
Kaili Kan:@ Maureen I would not suggest to discuss this by anybody in China. ISC has nothing to do with this, and this will be very difficult for them.
Glenn McKnight:Multiyear funding budgets work if you have consistent funding
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):thank you for this further clarification on this 'sticky issue' (multi year funnding) Xavier
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):it calms .some. of my current concerns (somewhat)
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:+1 - thanks Xavier, this is pretty clear
Maureen Hilyard:+1 yes really appreciated the explanation
Yesim Nazlar:@Xavier: Can you please speak a little bit more away from your mic? Your voice sounds very choppy and it's very hard for our interpreters
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:sounds fine here
Abdeldjalil Bachar Bong:Bonsoir à tous désolé pour le retard
Yesim Nazlar:Bonsoir Abdeldjalil!
Abdeldjalil Bachar Bong:bonsoir Yesim
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):so there *shuld be* numbers for PTI :-) Phw!!!
Yesim Nazlar:the missing numbers respectively are: 2.2 / 1.2 / 1.6 / 0.6 / 5.6 as total
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:I'd suggest that attendees look at their own copy of the PDF. It has all the numbers & no error from AC
Alan Greenberg:We have a 15 minute extension from our interpreters. So we will need to wrap up Xavier's part of this meeting in 10 minutes to allow us to address agenda item 5 before we end.
Taryn Presley:Following up on Xavier's question: ICANN meetings costs are included in ICANN Engagement, not Shared Services.
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:May I suggest that the ALAC should give its strong support to multi-year planning as explained on today's call?
Yesim Nazlar:At-Large Draft ICANN FY17 Operating Plan & Budget and Five-Year Operating Plan Update Workspace: https://community.icann.org/x/HiKAAw
