Minutes

*Re: clarification from FMG on the context of the extensions request: Paul reports that the issue is when there are extensions being requested coming from US realm participants – will US Realm task force take those on. Paul took back to FMG. Outstanding issue is what will be the process. Ed wants to know if we’ll be able to tell from the PSS if it’s an issue for USRTF. Paul states no, we should respond to FMG to develop a process for notification; FMG can in the meantime forward to US Realm or Anne to put on the agenda. We will flesh out the process at the January meeting. Ken states that maybe we can use some of the tools that Vocab is using as a model. EC will not meet before WG meeting; will put it out for electronic vote? Ed wonders what the barriers are to the authority issue. Ken goes over the history of the issue since Ed has been on the road an unable to attend the last few meetings, describing the push to run the issue through the chain of command. Ed thinks that the group’s name should no longer reflect task force since its role has evolved. Ken agrees and wonders about the process for moving that forward, the formalization of the group. Paul talks about the history of the issues with US Realm decisions. Ed agrees that we should run it past EC. Ken will submit a document to Mark for review previous to January call as the December call has been cancelled. Ken will forward to Ed to send to EC.
