    1. Report on ICANN Meeting in Bucharest, Romania

The Chair gave a brief update of the meeting and ICANN’s plans to move ahead as outlined by Reform Committee. She stated that the Board is accepting the ASO constituted as is, but with one fewer seat on the Board, leaving the ASO with 2 seats.

The Chair asked if RP or AP had any comments to add. AP stated that he hoped that if the Board speaks with the RIRs, that they can reach an understanding. RP agreed saying that a statement will be sent saying that the RIRs would like to help ICANN in the reform process. The Chair interjected that the ASO MoU would be re-negotiated in light of the changes of the relationship.

The Chair asked for any further comments. HPH asked what the timeline is for the reform. The Chair stated that a restructured proposal was due by August 30th, and asked LT if he felt that was correct. LT stated yes, that there were two reasons: 1. The MoU between the government and ICANN expires on September 30th and, 2. On September 22nd, the once-every-four years ITU Plenipotentiary begins in Morocco. Consequently, by the end of August there needs to be a plan on the table. He further stated that a detailed status report to Department of Commerce was due by August 15th. The Chair asked LT to please keep the AC apprised of any changes or developments and he agreed. There were no further comments.

    1. ASO AC Teleconferences: Time of call

The SEC stated he had received inquiries regarding changing the time of future ASO AC teleconference calls, and had sent a UTC timetable for different areas to the list for review. After discussion, it was decided that the call be driven by London Time instead of UTC in order to make the call at a more convenient time for all parties involved. WW moved that all future ASO AC teleconferences be scheduled for 22:00 London Time. The motion was seconded by CJW. The Chair asked for any objections. There being no objections, the motion passed unanimously. The Chair asked for the SEC to look into the correct designation of whether it is referred to as “London Time” or “British Standard Time (BST)” for the record.

    1. BoD Elections

As agreed in previous meetings, at this point RB and LT voluntarily left the call.

At the last teleconference, the ASO AC held a discussion to decide on which date they will hold their formal election. It was decided more time to discuss the qualifications of the candidates was needed, and that the election should not be held until after the upcoming ICANN meeting in Romania.

After much discussion, it was decided that the vote should take place on this call. The Address Council selected Mouhamet Diop to fill the ASO position on the ICANN Board to be vacated by Robert Blokzijl.
