>1.  Topic One ­ Completion and Publication of Interim Report:
>
>To Do:    Publish the Working Group¹s Interim Report by ICANN Cartagena
>Meeting
>
>David and Cheryl discussed the feedback on the V5 draft of the Interim
>Report and reacted to V6 of the draft.  They agreed there was value in
>bringing the work on the Interim Report to a close and moving toward
>publication before the Cartagena meeting.  Staff was authorized to
>outline a schedule that would achieve that proposed goal.
>
>In an effort to stimulate community thinking and feedback, the one
>substantial area of improvement discussed was the beefing-up of section B
>of the draft document to include some specific hypothetical statements
>reflecting potential options for adjusting the current Geographic Regions
>Framework. These ³potential suggestions²  could include specific
>scenarios for making or not making future adjustments to the current
>framework.  Working Group members are invited to reflect on this idea and
>to suggest potential options for the next draft of the document by COB on
>2 November.
>
>Proposed Schedule for Interim Report Publication:
>
>
> *   Collect all edits and other feedback from WG members submitted by 2
>November (originally proposed on call to be 28 October - but extended
>because of delay in circulating meeting report)
> *   Incorporate member input and Produce V7  Revised Interim Report on 3
>November
> *   Hold follow-up WG meeting to discuss draft Interim Report during
>week of 1 November
> *   Accept All Final Edits To Draft Interim Report From WG Members on 5
>November
> *   Submit Final Document for Translation on 8 November
> *   Publish English Version and any available translations on 15 November
> *   Allow 70-day Public Comment Period (ending approx 30 January 2011)

>Languages and end/beginning of year holidays
>
>2.  Topic Two ­ Possible Workshop During ICANN Cartagena Meeting:
>
>To Do:  Hold Community Workshop in Cartagena To Discuss Interim Report
>and Potential Final Report Adjustments/Scenarios
>
>David and Cheryl discussed the value of trying another open community
>session in Cartagena.  The session in Brussels contained very good
>content but was not well attended.  It was thought that the Workshop-type
>format and the prospect of adjustments/scenarios would encourage
>community members to attend and participate.
>
>Staff was instructed to reserve time and meeting space at the Cartagena
>meeting on Wednesday or Thursday of the meeting week for this session.
>The potential workshop format and agenda can be discussed at one of the
>next two WG meetings to be scheduled between now and the Cartagena
>meeting.
>
>3.  Other Topics/ Items:
>
>The Staff was asked to research the status of any ICANN response to the
>Letter from the League of Arab States sent on 28 August to ICANN CEO Rod
>Beckstrom.
>
>Next Meeting: Staff will circulate shortly a Doodle Scheduling Poll to
>determine WG Member availability for the next meeting during the week of
>1 November.
>
>
>Please share your comments or thoughts on the recorded discussion or this
>report at your earliest convenience.
