Summary of Discussion Points:
1.  Subgroup Updates
--Task 1 and 2: The subteam completed the Business Requirements document and
Mason agreed to share it with the OSC.  As a next step, the subteam will
meet with Marc Salvatierra to take the document to the design level.
--Task 3:  Helen and Zbynek engaged in a conference call meeting with
Christina Rodriguez of ICANN staff to better understand current
localization/translation efforts.  This meeting generated useful ideas for
addressing localization for the GNSO in a consistent manner.  The subteam
also met to discuss ideas on how to get better feedback.  One idea is to
create a forum or website for Registrants/Registrars to link to their sites
on a voluntary basis using an ICANN logo as a link.  Discussion included
concerns that ICANN needs to reduce the use of acronyms and ensure that
these are uniformly defined.  Helen and Zbynek agreed to meet in Sydney to
discuss next steps.
--Task 4: Mason has been engaged in identifying problems, determining what
is already being done in ICANN, and what needs to be done.  In addition to
the recommendations Mason is developing, he also will consider Ken Bour's
suggestion concerning codes of conduct for ICANN blogs/public forums and
Chris Chaplow's suggestions for better communications at meetings.

Best regards,

Julie
