[EC-NCSG] NCSG EC Meeting | 08 January 2016 | 1500 UTC

[Tapani Tarvainen]

Dear all,

My apologies for being late with this, in particular as it means we now
need to rush things and I have an unusually long agenda for today's
meeting:

1. Observers in EC. I propose inviting Kathy Kleiman as a new observer.

2. Choosing a Vice Chair. I propose Joan Kerr.
We'll need to discuss VC role a bit, key points:
- VC would not be any kind of constituency representative any more
than the Chair is, but work for the SG as a whole.
- Formally it would be up to the Chair to delegate tasks and
responsibilities to the VC.

3. Activating Finance Committee. I realize this is too short notice for
constituencies to select their representatives, so I'm proposing that
we just decide to do this and ask for constituencies to name their
representatives as soon as possible.

4. Marrakech schedule. In particular, I got two questions from staff:
Would Constituency Day would be better on Tuesday 8 or Wednesday 9 March?
Which evening there would work best for cocktail reception with the Board?

5. Pending member applications. It would be very helpful if you all
could review the applications in advance and mark your approval or
lack thereof in the Google Doc, leaving open only those you want to
discuss in more detail. That way we wouldn't have to spend so much
time with them during the call.

6. Los Angeles schedule. Not going to repeat stuff that's been hashed
over in NCPH level calls, but if time allows we could discuss about
some NCSG-specific things, like planned NCSG outreach event on
Wednesday evening.
