Notes
1.  Welcome/Introductions (Michael Karanicolas, Chris Wilson)
*        Introduction of participants
2.  Overview of Subgroup's Work & Timing (CW)
*        CW: distributed a Powerpoint presentation last week. Listing of the 4 core issues. Review of timeline.
3.  Primary Identification of Issues
*        Improving DIDP Ed Morris - overuse of the 12 categories by ICANN to deny requests. Would ICANN be open tor reviewing the 12 denial reasons as a more effective way of proceeding. Phil Corwin supports EM and finds trying to use the DIDP very frustrating - should the Ombudsman (an independent party) review to see if the test is met? Michael Karanicols: review mechanisms are critical to this type of process.
*        Improve ICANN's transparency with respect to governments.  Chris Wilson: there has been some discussion on the3 CCWG list on this topic.Michael Karanicols: the non-disclosure agreements will be an important topic.
*        Improvements to the Whistleblower policy. Avri Doria: there is a pending recommendation from ATRT2 that has been approved by the Board to review the Whistleblower policy. Wondering if this group can motivate getting a professional review done for this. Samantha Eisner: Review is completed 2 parts, first recommendations vs best practices and then possibly extending coverage. Michael Karanicols: hope this group will undertake its own review in addition to this.
*        Transparency of Board deliberations. Sonigitu Ekpe: important to have Board meeting recorded unless for specific exceptions. Farzaneh Badii: what are the exception to Board transparency ? Michael Karanicols: this is some of the things we will be looking at.
4.  Logistics going Forward (Chris Wilson)
*        Weekly calls? Maybe start weekly and then reduce. David McAuley (RySG): Maybe calls every other week for a few calls and we can see if that is good.
*        email engagement will be critical
*        Time of Day - David McAuley (RySG): It seems only fair to move around the clock given vast time zone differences. Times that are available aRE 0500, 1300 and 1900 UTC.
*        Stick with Thursday every other week and rotate the time of day. No objections. Co-chairs will confirm time and day of meetings going forward.
5.  AOB (Michael Karanicols)
*        Next call will be in two weeks.
*  Meeting Adjourned.
