Alan is pretty much correct.

The council decided to start out by creating one drafting team to  
create the motions and charters and whatever for the two efforts.
So this group is the one that will figure out  - from at least the  
GNSO perspective - though I hope from the GNSO/ALAC perspective -   
how  the work will be done.   The work consists of, at least,
- further, if any, RAA amendments
- documenting registrants rights

So this is to be the first meeting in which we try to figure out how  
we are going to proceed.  My view of the agenda:
- figure out who is going to coordinate this team, i will start out as  
interim on it until replaced.
- figure out how many groups we need
- figure out how the GNSO and ALAc are going to work together on this
- get volunteers to start working on charters and motions.

Given the partnership aspects of this and the complexity that comes  
out of the compromises contained in the RAA motions the Council  
approved, this Drafting Team is larger and more diverse then many, so  
it is somewhat more confusing.
Anyone who is only interested in the substantive issues and not the  
organizational issues of how we all get this done, can afford to skip  
this meeting.  But if you care about how the work will be structured,  
it is probably good to try and attend or at least listen to the  
recording
As for the name, it is just a place holder.  If people wish, I can add  
a 'what do we call this DT' item to the agenda, though i think it  
better to focus on the charters and names of the groups that will be  
developed.  If i had to suggest another name it would be Registrar and  
Registrant Issues DT.
