What can we do going ahead to ensure that there is momentum in completing this exercise, even if it is not bound to a strict timeline? As for the text, the letters in black seem identical to the actual charter, but I suppose the added text, even if in a different colour, may appear confusing to folks.

Before we begin, i can present a list of barebones changes we ought to make for NCSG conformity --- and the discussion can go forward on larger review questions.

Sounds good to me.  I’d think it would make sense before we do a call if others could get some of their top-level suggestions on the table as well.

As a starting point, what about having team members reply with points under the following sorts of headings:

1.  Overarching Issues (holistic view of what’s needed)

2.  NCSG Charter Conformity Issues

3.  Discrepancies with Current Practices to Close

4.  “Would be Nice” Improvements

or some similar parsing…let’s agree the categories and then start tossing our points in.

Re: the meeting, I’m looking at http://doodle.com/ncngb2w5tecmn3as <http://doodle.com/ncngb2w5tecmn3as> and it seems like the two end of the month options are not working so well for people, there’s an awful lot of pink boxes. Time zone appears to be a challenge for Rafik, who’d I’d think should be on the call(s).  17:30-19:00 seems a winner for everyone but him because it’s the middle of the night in Japan.  Could people maybe take a second look at their schedules and see if they could make one of the 15:30-17:00 slots work?

We also need replies from more people…I count 27 people in this team and just 6 Doodle replies.  We can’t revise they bylaws with that level of participation…

Best
