newly conscripted chair?

Hi everyone - delighted to be here.

It’s early out west, nobody wants to see me activate the camera. :)

Too early for video for me too :)

Marc has grown a beard

Great headset Marc! ;-)

lol, thanks

@milton yes, it's my winter beard... got to keep warm

Stretch goals @Sarah ;-)

Not an excuse!

Yes we are very grateful to you Keith for grasping this nettle

+1 thank you Keith!

Members: please select all panelists and attendees in order for everyone to see chat.

Regarding the roster, the GNSO Council is seeking a Council Liaison for this EPDP2A. We suspect this will conclude on or around the Council's meeting in Jan. 2021.

I agree with your suggestion, James, but would like to add that Rafiks role went far beyond stepping in occasionally :-)

Didn’t mean to imply, but always good to have a backup Keith. :)

I know you did not, James, and I think that for 2a the role is exactly as you described.

A backup Keith would be nice indeed, James

Agree with Volker.

More than a little here!

The audio is faint for me tooo

for me also.

If there is traction on draft recommendations part of that status back to the Council can include a PCR for an extension if required to further develop the Initial Report.

Regarding drafting of the report, it will mimic what staff did in Phases 1 & 2 in parallel to document deliberations against the instructions provided by the Council.

The 3 moths starts in Jan.

months*

we are not shutting down for a month, are we? two weeks?

LOL

End of March.

I wasn't a math major, but that's why I raised my hand. I've lowered it.

Today is the 17 Dec and next meeting is 14 January

True, our next meeting is not until the 14th. If the WG agrees, we can have a meeting on the 7th. The idea was to provide groups additional time to provide input on these topics and review the materials. So while the group may not meet until the 14th, this should not translate to no work being accomplished.

extra innings ;-) quadruple overtime

nicely said James!

+1 James

Yes, thanks to the Staff team for putting these together, it was very helpful to have the info all in one place!

what exactly are we supposed to be seeing on the screen?

no, he isn't

Are briefing docs posted to wiki? Sorry, I didn't see them

thanks!

I can see Berry's screen ok.

I think that may be a problem on Milton's side

it looks fine to me also

now it's tiny

its fine on my screen

Milton's Zoom is haunted

Briefing docs now posted on wiki - apologies for the oversight!

Thank you Caitlin!

Like we didn’t do our job with respect to GDPR when it was actually passed?

We briefly took a look at, and it does provide some clarity

I think NIS is relevant but Keith was correct that it is only a proposal

and he did not “cut off” discussion

Margie, I think it is not fair to suggest that Keith might not be neutral. His track record as GNSO chair is sterling.

as we are discussing it now ;-)

Great - thanks for listening Keith— appreciate it

For what it’s worth, I wasn’t aware of the draft NIS directive (thanks Brian) and took Keith’s intervention as an addition/clarification.

So yea, I’m learning. :)

My only beef is that now I have something new added to my reading list for the holiday break.

+1 Thomas

Happy readings James

+1 Thomas

Sorry for that, James :-)

+1 Thomas

WE just spent a lot of quality time discussing this fresh draft Directive, if folks are interested they should refer to the council records including chat

all good

Nothing from me - other than happy homeworking!

Thanks, all!

Thank you, Keith! Happy Holidays to all.

Thanks all - Happy Holidays and bye

Many thanks and happy holidays!

Thanks all!

Thank you Keith!

Happy holidays!
