Both on the agenda.  Sorry I just didn’t finalize and post as I was waiting to hear if Nora could join us, which she can’t.  Will do.

I think I’ve had them over on transition twice. They’re pretty relevant, no?  Like either the community gives them a plan they can sell or we don’t?

I would think so

Who do you have in mind?  I’ve tried several times to invite Brazil to Constituency Day without luck, EC too.  I’ve had GAC VCs but on human rights, other stuff.  It’s very hard because GAC meets all day during CD, so whomever from govt I ask has to sneak out.  NTIA is willing to.

So I take your point but not sure what can be done at this stage…

I have invited Larry Strickling and Fiona Alexander from the US NTIA to meet with us and discuss these crucial issues during NCUC’s  Tuesday 10 February Constituency Day meeting in Singapore.  It’d be good for us to be well prepared for that meeting and leverage the opportunity to press our concerns/positions.

If anyone has any suggestions of items we might try to fit into the agenda, please do let me know.  We will certainly devote a little time to the rebooting of the  Membership Affairs Team and the discussion about enhancing member engagement.  Beyond this, we have some wiggle room to focus on other items that won’t be covered in the NCSG Policy Committee and membership meetings.  The Cross Community WG on Internet Governance and related processes (e.g. the progress of the still problematic NMInitiative) might logical choices.
