<div style="font-size: medium;"> Mason Cole:Good morniing, all</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;"> Nathalie Peregrine:Welcome Mason!</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;"> Manal Ismail:Hi Mason ..</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;"> Mason Cole:You're garbled, Marika</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;"> Mark Carvell GAC - UK Govt:Yes - Hi and sorry to be a tad late.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;"> Manal Ismail:Hi Mark & Philip .. Thanks for joining ..</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;"> Philip Corwin:Good day</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;"> Mark Carvell GAC - UK Govt:Confess only now catching up with the papers - was on holiday first half of Jan!</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;"> Mason Cole:I agree with Mark's comment</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;"> Philip Corwin:Seems fine to me</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;"> Mark Carvell GAC - UK Govt:"and" is better....</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;"> Mason Cole:agree with you Manal</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;"> Mark Carvell GAC - UK Govt:Yes - ok confirmation.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;"> Philip Corwin:Looks good</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;"> Mark Carvell GAC - UK Govt:"outgoing" has tow meanings(!) - - how about "former"</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;"> Mark Carvell GAC - UK Govt:two</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;"> Mark Carvell GAC - UK Govt: Third skill description -</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;"> Mark Carvell GAC - UK Govt:Selection process - looks fine.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;"> Philip Corwin:OK with no term limit, but prefer annual reconfirmation</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;"> Mason Cole:I agree with Phil on that point</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;"> Mark Carvell GAC - UK Govt:Could you remind me of how to handle the liaison being incapacitated fir whatever reason (not temping fate, Mason!)</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;"> Nathalie Peregrine:Pedro Matos, representing Ana Neves, has joined the audio bridge</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;"> Mason Cole:My experience is that it's very important that the liaison be fluent with GNSO work and therefore be a non-voting member of the council</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;"> Glen de Saint Gery: GOP Observers heGNSOCouncilmayagreewith theCouncilof anyotherICANNSupportingOrganizationorAdvisoryCommittee to exchange observers.Such observersshallnot bemembersof,orentitledto voteor make motions on, the

<div style="font-size: medium;"> Marika Konings:I think that part needs to be updated as the current count is 3 - as the review of RPMs Final Issue Report has now been published as well.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;"> Mark Carvell GAC - UK Govt:Basically I conlcude that the QLM mechanism is working - and on GAC side we are now familiar with issue reports. Interesting that the two issues are intersecting with new GAC modalities - i) formation
of a GAC sub-group - PSWG and ii) a cross GAC coordination group on new gTLD issues. Thus issue handling is becoming more structured across the GNSO and GAC.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;"> Mark Carvell GAC - UK Govt:Too early to identify improvemetns I think - need more experience.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;"> Mark Carvell GAC - UK Govt:I will report where we are on this to the EU meetign chaired by Megan in Brussels on 28th</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;"> Mason Cole:Thanks Manal. Good day all.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;"> Philip Corwin:Bye all</div>
<div style="font-size: medium;"> Pedro Matos PT (on behalf of Ana Neves):thank you for putting forward this meeting.bye</div>
