TF reported that this has been recently endorsed by the APNIC Executive Committee. HPH and DW reported that this was at the recent RIPE meeting, but there was very little discussion. LV recalled that all that was given at the RIPE meeting was a status update. The Chair noted, and EB confirmed, that it was not at the recent ARIN meeting, but it was on the ARIN PPML; and, it will be on the October ARIN Meeting agenda. FO reported that it would be discussed at the upcoming LACNIC meeting also.
The Chair asked if AL wanted to discuss a recent post to the list. AL noted that the GPP was speed tracked through APNIC, since APNIC is out of IPv4 address space. AL stated that what is needed is agreement on the core idea. The Chair reminded the group that the ASO AC does not have a role in creating policy, however individuals can work on policy. He noted that AL’s post to the list was very recent and asked members to read his post and provide feedback. AL reiterated that he desires to facilitate discussion amongst the RIRs, noting that this is an urgent issue.

The Chair asked ARIN to thank Susan in advance for her support. He noted that the Workshop is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon and requested that people arrive early to work together and coordinate presentations for the Workshop.
12. Any Other Business
The Chair called for any other business and requested an RIR meeting update.
- RIPE 62. DW reported on the recent RIPE Meeting in Amsterdam. The newest global proposal has been introduced and is under discussion. There was more than a day’s worth of time given to IPv6. There was a proposal to remove the multi-homing requirement for PI. There was discussion about removing the distinction between PI and PA, it is not a proposal yet, but one may appear. The last /8 proposal just ended in Last Call. The RIPE NCC is successfully assigning 4-byte ASNs.
- Open vs Closed Meetings. The Chair stated that he was asked if the ASO AC should possibly open their meetings to the public; noting that the meetings used to be open. He asked the members if there was a good reason to keep the meetings closed. HPH stated that in the beginning, the meetings were open and there was a public and an announcement list. He noted that there was not much discussion on the public list. The teleconferences used to be recorded. It was determined that as long as the meetings had minutes being taken, and those minutes were published, that the meetings did not have to be open. Some people did not like to be on calls when they did not know who was on the line. He noted that there are tactical problems with having an open meeting.The Chair noted that the ICANN Board had open meetings, but they ended up being practically scripted in advance. The Chair also noted that the ASO AC minutes are detailed and published. He stated that the last ASO AC meeting in San Francisco was indicated on the agenda as closed. HPH suggested holding open meetings at ICANN meetings. DW noted that, in general, when meetings are open that the real discussion tends to move somewhere else.HPH suggested adding an informal discussion of the global proposals to the agenda in Singapore.The Chair stated that the Accountability & Transparency Review Team (ATRT) meetings started as closed meetings, then they opened but do allow members to close the meeting at times. Opening the meeting could impact the Secretariat’s ability to facilitate the teleconferences. The Chair said that there has not been a request to open the calls. The Chair said he would further consider the issue.
13. Adjournment
The Chair entertained a motion to adjourn at 1:03 p.m. EDT. HPH moved to adjourn, and this was seconded by DW. The meeting was adjourned with no objections.
