   Tatiana Tropina:hi all

   Julf Helsingius (GNSO NCPH NCA):there was a brief spot of classical piano music

   Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]:Those words were not put in the bylaws, Kavouss.   We are using those words here in our group .  If not helpful, we can use other terms

   Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):That is almost the sam question as Alan just asked I beleive Kavous

   Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):sam = same

   Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]:First circle is active members.   Second circle is target of all possible members.   Third circle is everyone else?

   Alan Greenberg:They are not necesaily concetric. Some will be overlapping/intersecting

   Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):argh  sorry my computer just crashed... using tablet now while I try to reboot

   Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]: Alan -- I think I heard you say you were prepared to describe ALAC's Accountability Mechanisms.    Is that right?

   Kavouss Arasteh:Steve+1

   Kavouss Arasteh:Alan11

   Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):Briefly of course Alan ;-)

   Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]:Question for Alan: Does At-Large have a procedures document, charter, or other document where this is described

   Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):?The ALAC  RoP's  go ad nauseum on process for selection of these roles

   Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):and to a lesser extent the RALO ones do as well

   Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]:would you say the main mechanisms are: 1)elections and 2) participation?

   Alan Greenberg:To be clear, I was talking about the "At-Large Community" as defined in the ICANN Bylaws.

   Alan Greenberg:That was not "the ALAC Answer". tHAT WAS PURELY MY PERCEPTION.

   Alan Greenberg:Sorry for caps

   Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):yes Seb we said we would ask questions of each AC SO

   Sebastien (ALAC):Thanks CLO

   Sebastien (ALAC):No pb Alan, was useful

   Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):thx STEVE

   Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):sorry caps

   Alan Greenberg:You can never eliminate capture unless you can ensure that individual parts of the organization do not abdicate om their responsibility to participate.

   Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]:Yes, Kavouss.   The "review" part is telling us to look at the existing processes

   Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]:+1 Alan

   Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):exactly Alan

   Alan Greenberg:I'm not sure we are here to make recommendations to each AC/SO. We are here to help design a framework under which future reviews can be done.

   Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]:Our question to each SOAC must begin with the bylaws charter for our group (slide on the screen), plus Recc 10 and

>12 (also in the slids)

   Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]:Kavouss -- I did not say that this question was about EXTERNAL accountability
