1.2 

 

Following our call on Monday ---which Michael, Olga and I joined, two
points emerged: 

 

1.    We determined that a narrowed definition of minutes might address
issues as to admin burdens and looked at language such as "decisions,
resolutions and action points". 

 

2.    We also decided to revert formally to the BGC as to their intent
on open mailing and discussion lists (even with posting limited to
members) and I agreed to draft something.  I will do this and circulate.


 

 

Given that attendance was limited -I would like to request that we
either arrange another call or that those who did not attend submit
comments on the original unedited recommendations language only at this
stage (attached again). 

 

We are looking for detailed examples of issues and factual observations
and focus on the language.   

 

Could people also indicate their ability to join a further call -before
or after our call on Friday? 

 

I have set up a Doodle for this at

Dear Subtask Team, 

 

In advance of the meeting next week -as discussed, please submit
detailed, fact based comments and suggestions on the current draft

the term limit should be 1 year and two terms.  There should be no
restriction on sitting out a term and starting afresh.
