  Grace Abuhamad: (06:16) Meeting aer listed here is UTC time: https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocwgdtstwrdshp/Meetings

  Grace Abuhamad: (06:18) Oops wrong link: https://community.icann.org/display/acctcrosscomm/Meetings

  Sabine Meyer: (06:18) CWG times are very informative as well.

  Grace Abuhamad: (06:19) :p

  Sabine Meyer: (06:19) I meant that! :)

  Robin Gross  [GNS0-NCSG]: (06:26) can we add a bylaws mechanism as a possibility?

  Robin Gross  [GNS0-NCSG]: (06:27) to the community empowerment mindmap

  Alan Greenberg: (06:28) I believe that post-Frankfurt, there was also a discussion on a capability close to "Members" without moving to a membership org.

  Keith Drazek: (06:28) Delegates?

  Matthew Shears: (06:28) yes - we need to see all the options that have been discussed incporated into the paper

  Vrikson Acosta: (06:29) I agree with robin Gross comment :)

  Alan Greenberg: (06:29) @Keith. Yes, I think that was the term.

  Robin Gross  [GNS0-NCSG]: (06:30) Thanks, Steve, I'll send that in this morning.

  Bill Drake: (06:31) +1 Matt

  Steve DelBianco: (06:32) @Alan -- would that be a permanent CCWG?

  Grace Abuhamad: (06:36) You all have scroll control

  Grace Abuhamad: (06:37) The Wiki page is here: https://community.icann.org/display/acctcrosscomm/ST-WP+--+Stress+Test+Work+Party

  Alan Greenberg: (06:39) @Steve, I did not look into in in great detail, but likely could take a number of forms where people are empowered to act. Like "members" it is the Bylaw construct that allows action/participation by the community. These constructs are really orthoganol ad hoc SO/AV and perm WG. which are the ways that the members or delegates exercise their power.

  Alice Jansen: (06:39) Link to ST-WP wiki page https://community.icann.org/display/acctcrosscomm/ST-WP+--+Stress+Test+Work+Party

  Steve DelBianco: (06:39) Got it, Alan.  I think we call that ad-hoc CCWG with powers enumerated in the bylaws

  Alan Greenberg: (06:40) Yes. But you need to make 3 Statutory Members/Delegates.

  Alan Greenberg: (06:41) Two dif mecahanism to effect similar results.

  Steve DelBianco: (06:49) @Alan: could you please send Jordan and I a sentence or two that captures your Delegate concept?

  David McAuley (GNSO): (06:52) Agree w Steve – IRP and Reconsideration Requests are flawed and that is remit of Review & Redress team to grapple with preliminarily

  Athina Fragkouli (ASO): (06:53) +1 to Kavouss suggestion

  Roelof Meijer (ccNSO): (07:01) @Alan: why 3 members/deligates?

  Roelof Meijer (ccNSO): (07:01) delEgates..

  Greg Shatan: (07:03) I would like to be added to the legal subgroup.  Since I am primarily assembling the short list for the CWG, that should be helpful.

  Grace Abuhamad: (07:03) Announcement was posted here: https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-3-2015-01-30-en

  Grace Abuhamad: (07:03) ok noted @Greg

  Alan Greenberg: (07:03) @Roelof "3" was the item number in the list for "Members". I was suggesting that the concept of Members be widened to other constructs effecting the same ability.

  David McAuley (GNSO): (07:04) +1 Greg - coordination with CWG will be good

  Grace Abuhamad: (07:04) added

  Mark Carvell  GAC - UK Govt: (07:07) I

  Grace Abuhamad: (07:07) Drafts are here: https://community.icann.org/display/acctcrosscomm/Drafts+for+CCWG-Accountability

  Roelof Meijer (ccNSO): (07:07) @Alan: okay, thnx for that, I got lost there ; )

  Mark Carvell  GAC - UK Govt: (07:08) I missed th ebeginnign of the call unfortunately - what is the expected CCWG outcome from Singapore?

  Alan Greenberg: (07:08) @Roelof, Or an alternative interpretation of that notaion: There will only be 3 people who control everything: You, me and one other person we pick!

  Barrack Otieno: (07:09) no AoB from me

  Sabine Meyer: (07:10) "One other person" is quite anthropocentric, Alan :)

  Alan Greenberg: (07:11) @Sabine Indeed. What would you propose? My dog does not really have the capacity to do it properly.

  Roelof Meijer (ccNSO): (07:11) @Alan: that sounds quite accountable. To us..

  Sabine Meyer: (07:12) Better a dog than a cat, I'd say.

  Mark Carvell  GAC - UK Govt: (07:13) Thanks - note the point on awaiting legal advice but pressure is on for concrete outcome.

  Mathieu Weill, ccNSO, co-chair: (07:13) @Mark - agree, Mark

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr: (07:14) thanks all. I look forward to meeting up with many of you in Singapore... safe travel to you all...  Bye
