>  Holly J. Gregory (Sidley):Good morning CCWGers!

>  Bruce Tonkin:Good morning Holly

>  JTC:oh hey everyone, long time no see

>  Matthew Shears:morning

>  Seun Ojedeji:good morning

>  JTC:Slide deck should be in your inbox, team

>  JTC:oh I better fix the name

>jansen:https://www.streamtext.net/player?event=LiffeyH222Oct2015

>  Seun Ojedeji:Thanks

>  Bruce Tonkin:My suggestion fo rhte decision making mechanism is to

>start with the 4 organizxations that appoint Board members directly -

>ASO, ccNSO, GNSO, and ALAC.   Require these 4 orgnaizations to reach

>consensus on exrcising the dutires of the single legal entity.

>  Seun Ojedeji:I think thats a fair response from Julie

>  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 Rapporteur):Thank you Julie for that very

>clear statement from SSAC.

>  Bruce Tonkin:Require that the single legal entity formally notifgy

>GAC, SSAC and RSSAC of plans to exercise their ppowers and ask if they have

>any advice.   If they do have advice then require the  ASO, GNSO, ccNSO

>and ALAC to meet with that AC to have a dialgoue, and then ASO, ccNSO,

>GNSO, ALAC then make a collective decision based on that advice.

>  Bruce Tonkin:This would be more consistent with hwo the Board

>operates today.

>  Brett Schaefer:+1 Bruce

>  James Gannon:FUll agreement with Bruce

>  Matthew Shears:this was the view of those suporting what I believe

>was the third minority option in the proposal

>  Seun Ojedeji:+1 Bruce. That said, overall efficiency in these

>processes is important. I doubt these won't be running into many months

>  Seun Ojedeji:<question> If 2 months is for instance set for community

>forum to determine the consensus view on an issue and then after 2

>months, there is no clear direction, what happens? <question>

>  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 Rapporteur):Seun, none of our processes give

>the Forum two months to do anything, and in any case, none of our

>powers determine consensus in the Forum. So I am a little confused by

>your question

>  Cheryl Langdon-Orr - CLO:need to note also that in Pc 2 responses the

>ALAC on the 5:2  proposed to indicate preference for an equal ratioed

>system in the Pc stated as 5 across the system,  but the primary intent

>was preference to equity

>  Seun Ojedeji:@Jordan i just gave 2 months as an example and i did not

>say community forum decides. My question is generally asking what

>happens when a particular escalation step does not come with an outcome

>within the set time range. For instance IRP is set for 6months, what

>happens if there is no outcome after 6month?

>  Julie Hammer (SSAC):Bruce, as I see it, SSAC would wish the Community

>to ensure that SSAC was able to be fully informed right from the

>beginning of any accountability process so that it could provide fully

>informed, independant and TIMELY advice into the process.

>  Matthew Shears:this demonstrates the absolute need for clarity in how

>we describe the mechanism

>  Cheryl Langdon-Orr - CLO:exactly Jordan

>  James Gannon:+1 Julie

>  Julie Hammer (SSAC):PS I should have specified that advice on

>security and stability issues, should any exist.

>  Cheryl Langdon-Orr - CLO:and discussion yes I have found the SSAC

>intervention as very useful to our thinking and

>  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 Rapporteur):Seun, for the community powers:

>if the timelines aren't kept, the power falls over.

>  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 Rapporteur):I don't know about IRP.

>  Seun Ojedeji:@Jordan can you kindly explain what you mean by "falls

>over"?

>  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 Rapporteur):oh sorry - it just stops

>  alice jansen:The slide-deck can be found on the wiki -

>Dat

>e=1445498578355&api=v2

>  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 Rapporteur):e.g. if within the timeframe for

>decision, there's no decision made, nothing happens

>  Matthew Shears:Hi Julie, if the community were to decide to change

>the IFO for performance failures would the SSAC decide to participate

>in the consensus call?

>  Seun Ojedeji:Okay stops in the sense of not to be taken up again will

>be a good thing, otherwise it would not be helpful

>  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 Rapporteur):there can't be a ban on making

>another attempt to exercise the power

>  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]:We lose granularity of views - minority

>views by moving to a single vote for each SOAC in the counting (however

>you call it).  We need to ensure we can include the minority views in

>the voting / consensus - decision making - what ever it is called.

>  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 Rapporteur):except in the case of no decision

>in removing an individual board member

>  Julie Hammer (SSAC):Matthew, the SSAC would not participate in the

>consensus call, but in that situation I am sure that it would provide

>very specific advice regarding any security and stability aspects, and

>I would expect that advice to be suficiently powerful to enable the

>Community to make the best decision in the consensus call.

>  Matthew Shears:@ Julie - thanks!

>  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 Rapporteur):I think part of this is about how

>much uncertainty in decisional paths people want to wear

>  Malcolm Hutty:We still need to achieve clarity as to whether GAC

>advice to the contrary would qualify as an "objection", or (like the

>SSAC

>advice) should simply be taken into account by others in deciding

>whether to object but would not count as an independent objection.

>  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]:GAC will have its vote in the

>decisionmaking process PLUS its ADVICE.  This was something we got a

>lot of opposition to in public comments.  How do we propose dealing

>with the giving GAC the decision PLUS the ADVICE - the double-dipping problem we heard about.

>  John Curran:Interesting.   I somehow expected that use of the community

>powers would occur with  clear consensus after ample community

>discussion (including minority views), while the actual decision (that

>consensus exists for their use) would be very clear and unambiguous.

>  Malcolm Hutty:The previous request from the GAC (for 5 votes)

>indicates to me that they want their advice to be capable of counting

>as an objection; today's communique saying that the curent role of the

>GAC must be preseved points to following the same route as the SSAC

>  Andrew Sullivan:It does seem that an awful lot of people are

>imagining that discussion and so on will go on in locked rooms where

>nobody can hear it

>  Andrew Sullivan:I'd like to imagine that instead such discussions

>could happen in public, so that it would be easy to evaluate the

>strength of consensus.

>  Matthew Shears:the discussions oin the community forum would take

>place in public

>  Cheryl Langdon-Orr - CLO:well said Thomas S

>  Farzaneh Badii:GAC represents national governments not people .

>  Desiree Miloshevic:congrats Thomas

>  Andrew Sullivan:In the IETF, where we use humming, the silence does

>so count

>  John Curran:One wonders whether there should be some form of written

>positions (or advice) from each SO/AC going into a forum... I am unsure

>how to otherwise carry the perspectives of the other SO/AC's back to the

>number community.   It's unclear that everyone will participate/watch a

>community forum.

>  Andrew Sullivan:The fact that you get almost no hum on either side of

>a clear qustion, for instance, would be an important indication of

>strength of consensus

>  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 Rapporteur):John, the notion is that there'd

>be a write up of the dialogue

>  Matthew Shears:@ John - we have outlined the escalation path in more

>detail and it does include information sharing, etc. as you suggest

>above

>  jorge cancio (GAC Switzerland):the last Communique can be found here:

>https://gacweb.icann.org/display/gacweb/Governmental+Advisory+Committee

>  Andrew Sullivan:https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7282.txt might be

>useful for people to have a look at on how the IETF handles these

>"consensus" questions (the IETF uses rough conensus, of course)

>  Andrew Sullivan:(note also that document isn't normative.  It's just

>a description of things)

>  John Curran:question for cllarity purposes (not for the WG, but

>anyone on chat who might know) - Is the community forum a meeting of

>liaisons who are carrying their SO/AC positions, or empowered

>repressentatives who (in the room) must be able to express/withhold support after discussion?

>  jorge cancio (GAC Switzerland):and the GAC consensus input on the

>second draft:

>http://forum.icann.org/lists/comments-ccwg-accountability-03aug15/msg00

>069

>.html

>  Bruce Tonkin:I assume RSSAC would likely have a similar approach to

>SSAC.

>  Jonathan Zuck (IPC):@John, the forum precedes the call for consensus

>among the SOs and ACs

>  John Curran:i.e. would the attendes from each SO/AC be required to be

>able to express a position post-discussion, or would they carry the

>views expressed back to their SO/AC for each SO/AC to determine its

>final view based on its own consensus process?

>  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 Rapporteur):the latter, John.

>  James Gannon:The latter

>  John Curran:so, the latter.  There's a forum for sharing of views,

>and then (later) each SO/AC would formally decide its final view and

>supply to the community mechanism?

>  Jonathan Zuck (IPC):yes

>  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 Rapporteur):Yes.

>  Matthew Shears:yes

>  James Gannon:Correct under my understanding

>  Seun Ojedeji:Thats right John

>  Andrew Sullivan:I thought the existing role was advice to the Board.

>Aren't we talking about the scenario where there's a dispute between

>the community and the board?

>  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 Rapporteur):the forum's purpose is to bring

>transparency to the deliberation and to ensure SOs and ACs make their

>decisions in the knowledge of cross-community views.

>  John Curran:Thanks - apologies for excessive questions.

>  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 Rapporteur):hey, at least the answers are

>well-rehearsed

>  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 Rapporteur)::)

>  jorge cancio (GAC Switzerland):This was the GAC consensus input on

>the specific issue of voting as proposed in the second draft report:

>"However, the possibility that the GAC may, in the future and upon its

>sole decision, fullyparticipate in the "Community Mechanism" as an

>entity entitled to 5 votes (on equalterms with the Supporting

>Organizations – SOs – and the At Large Advisory Committee– ALAC) should

>be included in the Final report of the CCWG in line with what

>iscontained in Section 6.2 of the CCWG 2nd Draft Proposal."

>  Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]:GAC's current role is to advise the ICANN

>Board.  There's no question that would be preserved.   Question is, would

>GAC also like to advise the Community Mechanism we are designing.    2nd

>question:  would GAC's advice to the CM sometimes be clarified as

>either Support or Objection?

>  avri:I am not sure i see any reasn why the thresholds need to change

>based on having 5 instead of 7.

>  Jonathan Zuck (IPC):@avri, you might have a point

>  avri:also, the SSAC method may give them more power in some sense as

>there is an expectation that their advice will count in each of the

>ACSO decsion proceedures as opposed to just being 1 countable unit.

>  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 Rapporteur):because you are demanding

>unanimity for the exercise of community powers

>  Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]:@Avri -- I think you are right about the

>threshholds.  They may work to measure strong support in absence of

>strong objections.  Even with only 5 expressing preference.

>  FIONA ASONGA (ASO):@Avri I agree with you we need a decision making

>process that is clear regardless of 5 or 7 ACSO

>  Matthew Shears:agree

>  Cheryl Langdon-Orr - CLO:thanks Kavous Infinite that two typesets

>advice helpful to understand

>  Brett Schaefer:Wouldn't it be simpler to just have a decision made

>based on level of support?

>  Julia Wolman, GAC Denmark:+1 Izumi

>  Cheryl Langdon-Orr - CLO:agreed

>  Athina Fragkouli (ASO):Agree with Izumi. The most important thing is

>to hear each other's opinions and engage and the proposed framework

>allows for that

>  Kavouss Arasteh:Participzation on decision making has two aspects

>  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 Rapporteur):I think we need a sub-team of WP1

>to try and crunch this to a conclusion, and fast

>  Matthew Shears:agree Jordan

>  James Gannon:+1 Jordan

>  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 Rapporteur):we clearly aint going to solve it

>in the next three minutes

>  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]:yes we do

>  Kavouss Arasteh:Participating in providing input to the process and

>participatiobn providing input to be taken into account and acounted to

>fulfill the threshold required in the last column

>  John Curran:If an SO does not provide _any_ response  "in favor" or

>"in objection" to use of community power, how does that get counted? 

>Is that what the GAC is effectively doing when it prvoides a brief

>which doesn't express formally support or objection?

>  Julie Hammer (SSAC):Steve, the SSAC Charter is not only to advise the

>ICANN Board, but also the ICANN Community.

>  Cheryl Langdon-Orr - CLO:yes that's clear from your intervention this

>morning Julie but important to get the record clear

>  Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]:@Julie -- and the GNSO pays keen attention

>to GAC advice.   But there's nothing in the GNSO Operating procedures to

>explicity consider or respond to SSAC.   As far as I know

>  Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]:@Julie -- and the GNSO pays keen attention

>to SSAC advice.   But there's nothing in the GNSO Operating procedures to

>explicity consider or respond to SSAC.   As far as I know

>  Julie Hammer (SSAC):No agree...I was only clarifying who the SSAC is

>chartered to provide advice to.

>  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]:how are the granuality of views taken into

>account in this proposal for each SO-AC counts as a single unit in the

>decision making process?  We would lose the inclusion of minority views.

>  Kavouss Arasteh:In my view GAC may provide advice to help others how

>GAC thibnks on that issue, then the next step is whether that consensus

>advice is counted in processing the requirements of the last column

>  Matthew Shears:I don't think we can exclude SOs and ACs from

>participting based on the power in question

>  Jonathan Zuck (IPC):@Matthew, yeah there's always an exception case

>where they ARE interested

>  Cheryl Langdon-Orr - CLO:yes

>  Kavouss Arasteh:The same input  advice which may not be counted in

>the last column outcome could be given by SSAC AND ... ( NON COUNTED

>ADVICES)

>  John Curran:Understood... the GAC advice may often being much like

>the SSAC advice.  However, if the GAC doesn't take a formal

>"support"/"object" position, is that any different (in terms of

>consensus to use the power) than when an SO fails to formally take

>"support" or "object" position?  (effectively, abstain or unable to

>reach internal cosensus in the allowed time)

>  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]:This proposal does make GAC decision makers

>- that is not alligned with the existing model.  It is a change in the

>corporate governance structure, which we've heard is a non-starter.

>  Bruce Tonkin:Some of the "commuikyt powers" need to be thought about in

>the context of the particular change being requested.   For example with

>respect to "Black changes to regular bylaws" -= I think at a minimum

>you will need the support of teh SO or AC that may be directly affected

>by a bylaw change - e.g changing the bylaws for SSAC for example.

>  Bruce Tonkin:Also if a bylaws change is an outcome of a policy

>deveopment process - e.g a change to the PDP process for the GNSO -

>again I thin that may require a different threshold for other SOs or

>ACs to change.

>  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]:Bruce, has the Board changed its previous

>stated view about not allowing a change in the corporate structure?

>  Kavouss Arasteh:Bruce , that would those cases that GAC advice to be

>counted because the change of Bylaws could impact the operation of GAC

>  Bruce Tonkin:The key I think is that there is a communit ofurm where

>all the advice from advisory committees can be properly consdiered -

>and then set a minimum level of support required from the SOs and ALAC. 

>Ie eitehr 3 of them or all four of them.

>  Pedro Ivo Silva [GAC Brasil]:+1 Jorge

>  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]:Yes, Bruce.  That sounds reasonable.

>  Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:Well said Jorge

>  Bruce Tonkin:While the GNSO may not reach a unanimous decision ona

>topic - then certainly in the resolution fo the GNSO a miniotory view

>of those on the GNSO that disagee with a deicsion shoudl be duly noted.

>  Bruce Tonkin:@Robin - at the mment I am making personal contributions

>to help move the discussion forward.   We have not yet had a meeting to

>discuss any of these ideas.   I am making stuff up in other words.

>  Matthew Shears:@ Bruce - that is the purpose of the community forum -

>after which the existing theshold or a higher one is then set per the

>chart.  are you sugesting that the post community form threshold will

>be determined at the fourm?

>  Cheryl Langdon-Orr - CLO:indeed Jorge thank you for your clarity of

>position Which understand and agree with

>  Kavouss Arasteh:There is an important element to be serioiusly

>considered and that is the composition and defintion of column 4 which

>requires 4 support and 1 against , If SSAC and RSSAC do not participate

>or have non counted advice then remains 5 which include 3 SOs and 2 ACs

>which results that GAC consensus advice shall be counted

>  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 Rapporteur):I do not support any decisional

>system that concetrates voice and decision in the way that says "each

>SO or AC participating only can say support or object." It is a far

>worse system than what we proposed in our Second Draft Proposal.

>  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]:Completely agree, Jordan.

>  Jonathan Zuck (IPC):@Jordan - we need to find a way to revisit their

>impressions of the proposed model now that they know the implications

>  Jandyr Santos Jr:Very good comments, Jorge

>  John Curran:one cannot compel an SO/AC to say either "support" or

>"object" as their final view...  at a minimum, "no view"/"abstain" must

>be possible, since it is possible that an SO/AC internal timing process

>for consensus may not converge in time.

>  avri:i think we have to remember that the issue of the CM is consensus.

> the pwoer exists only when the community, however many countable SOAC

>are particiting, is mostly in agreement.

>  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 Rapporteur):yes that too John - it's not what

>they are going to say that is my concern so much as the fact that each

>of those aggregations only has one "say". That's a big shift from what

>we had earlier proposed. We need somehow to combine that voice with the

>drive to consensus decision-making. That's the challenge.

>  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]:I don't think we can send the report to

>chartering orgs at the same time as public comment.

>  Matthew Shears:are we asking the community to comment on both or to

>hold comments until the detailed report is issued?

>  Chris Disspain:The Board would like to thank you for Christmas 2015

>being a Board workshop! :-)

>  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 Rapporteur):Chris: well, sorry about it. :)

>  Chris Disspain:and a happy new year to you all!!

>  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 Rapporteur):I might go on strikes for two

>weeks

>  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 Rapporteur):hide in a beach

>  Leon Sanchez (Co-chair ALAC):don't get me started on Board Christmas

>Chris

>  Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:+1 to Avri´s comment about "professional

>writers"

>  Matthew Shears:for the community outside ICANN what are we asking

>them to comment on - the summary or the detailed report?

>  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 Rapporteur):both

>  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 Rapporteur):but they just get the first bit

>earlier

>  Jonathan Zuck (IPC):@Avri, one thing to remember is that the ultimate

>audience are NOT experts in this so we need to go through the painful

>translation processd

>  Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]:The 6 Chartering Orgs determine whether

>to advance the CCWG proposal to the board/NTIA.  So public commenters should

>work to influence the Chartering Org they are participating in.   If an

>"outsider" wants to comment, we invite them to provide a comment , too.

>  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]:Great point, James, we are doing this

>backwards if we don't know the facts before filling a timeline.

>  Jonathan Zuck (IPC):@Steve...because the role of such an "outsider"

>would be advisory?...;)

>  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 Rapporteur):the internet community outside

>ICANN are outsiders now, are they?

>  Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]:@James -- agree about asking chartering

>orgs about timeline.   You and I are in GNSO, and it is tough to know

>dates we could meet, even knowing the GNSO has scheduled call in

>mid-December, etc.

>  Jonathan Zuck (IPC):@James, we need dates to which we aspire or we

>will all spend too much time thinking aboutd getting going. we've done

>pretty well thus far meeting our aspirational goals

>  Chris Disspain:I suggest that the Chairs of CCWG formally write ot

>Chairs of each SO and AC asking if the peoposed time line is workable

>and whether that SO or AC is likley to require a face to face meeting

>  Keith Drazek:How many people in this room are attending IGF....the

>week before the report is due to be delivered to the chartering organizations?

>  Bruce Tonkin:I think it is fine to cosndier some scenarios from a time

>frame point of view.    AS others have noted it will evolve as facts

>become available.   THis is j.ust one rather ambitious scenario

>  Seun Ojedeji:@James its good to have a timeline and then ask the

>SO/AC what they think about it. Its also important to ask staff/board

>as well especially if there will be intersessional

>  Bruce Tonkin:At least it highlights some of the dependencies

>  avri doria:Jonathan, perhaps you are right, but then we need to

>figure far more ime into the writing.  though maybe a journalist would

>do. they write quickly and are versatile at understnading.

>  Becky Burr:ouch Keith, good point

>  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 Rapporteur):Not me, Keith.

>  James Gannon:Johnathan, I think we will ahe to agree to disagree on

>our meeting our previous aspirational dates =)

>  James Gannon:@Keith I know I will be and many many others

>  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 Rapporteur):oh god, the IGF

>  Chris Disspain:I'll be there

>  avri doria:any schedule is aspirational - there is the hope that

>people will work to try and meet it.

>  Keith Drazek:Perhaps a show of hands of IGF attendees? Just being

>realistic.

>  Jonathan Zuck (IPC):I'll be there, participating and drafting ;)

>  James Gannon:Yeah would be a good point of fact Keith, can the

>cochairs do a call in the room for hands

>  Keith Drazek:Sounds like we should request a meeting room with

>support at the IGF meeting.

>  avri doria:one good thing about working over the holidays is that

>most other work is halted.

>  Jonathan Zuck (IPC):@Keith, THAT is a an excellent idea!

>  Bruce Tonkin:The IGF will hold its 10th annual meeting in João Pessoa,

>Brazil, on 10 to 13 November 2015.   I don't know whther that helps - I

>guess there are some proportio nof the CCWG that will attend that

>meeting.   WOn't be me though :-)

>  James Gannon:Yes if can get a room that we can work in and out of

>over the IGF ad-hoc

>  Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]:When Roelof said "input from the

>community" I think he means from community Chartering Orgs and also

>from those who aren't part of any chartering org

>  Keith Drazek:A blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while! ;-)

>  Erika Mann:We should spend Christmans and NY all together ...

>  James Gannon:Pedro might be able to help us with that =)

>  James Gannon:Erika I like that idea =)

>  Alan Greenberg:I strongly support Bruce. In the early reviews, we

>  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur):do we need a new form of

>  Robin Gross [GNSO - NCSG]:I support Fiona's statement.

>  Jonathan Zuck (IPC):+1 Jordan. Not sure budget process needs to be in

>  Julia Wolman, GAC Denmark:+1 Rafael

>  Kavouss Arasteh:No I was not present . Pls what wass the results

>  jorge cancio (GAC Switzerland):what about legal fees as a factor? -

>just joking :P

>  Alan Greenberg:@Steve, again I ask, what does 2/3 of the designator

>(which is all Designator means)?

>  David McAuley (RySG):Good point Jordan

>  Jonathan Zuck (IPC):+1 Jordan

>  Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]:As indicated in our published analysis

>  Leon Sanchez (Co-chair ALAC):@Kavouss the result, if I am not

>mistaken, was that the Sole Designator model provided the means to

>comply with annex L of CWG proposal

>  Finn Petersen, GAC - DK 2:+1 Jordan

>  Cheryl Langdon-Orr - CLO:well said @avri

>  Julia Wolman, GAC Denmark:With regard to participation in AOC

>reviews, I believe it is important to diversity and balance between groups.

>simplicity

>  Mary Uduma:+1 Avri

>  Steve DelBianco [GNSO - CSG]:@Alan -- good question, but I think 2/3

>of a Single Designator would mean that the Single Designator would have

>to say Yes

>  James Gannon:That would be my understading steve

>  Kavouss Arasteh:No it does not as Annex L just talk about enforcing

>  Finn Petersen, GAC - DK 2:+ 1 Julia  :-)

>  Holly J. Gregory (Sidley):Yes @ Steve D.  Correct that we would give

>  James Gannon:Kavouss there doesnt appear to be any legal way to do

>  Alan Greenberg:@Steve, Then it will have to be a new line in the

>  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur):There is no 2/3 of a designator

>indeed

>  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur):it answers yes or no

>  Cheryl Langdon-Orr - CLO:encourage the generation of Standard

>Operating Procedures for the RT's

>  Kavouss Arasteh:then the process is weak

>  Jordan Carter (.nz, WP1 rapporteur):the question is the decision

>  James Gannon:I would tend to agree Kavouss

>  FIONA ASONGA (ASO):@ Thomas Rickert +1

>  Seun:thanks Chris That's healthy

>  Milton Mueller:+1 Kavouss

>  Kavouss Arasteh:I do not understand why it is not piossible to add a
