• drc - root-ops bear the brunt of failure in the user community.
• RSSAC is an advisory
• Louie - document should be guided by performance vs operations.

• drc - anything that affects operations is a concern.
• Louie - only NSI publishes - will work with them

• Rootops can advise rssac & rssac can advise ICANN.
• (do to overlap how can rssac advise icann w/o rootops)
• Markk - can icann publish expectaions (timeframes et.al.)?

3) Implementation plan (concreate dates)

4) Document IANA proceedures (what drc holds?)

5) The contract for services.

• MarkK - "here to help" -
• Ray - does all this need to be in stone or can we have "jello" that can be ammenable to DoC approval?
• Louie - ammenable.
• Karen - stuff..... seems to echo Louis thoughts. Are we comfortable and avoiding delays?
• Tom n. - ammendments to cooperative agreement pending?
• Karen - yes, there will need to be. Need to include ICANN et.al.
• (lots of discussion - generally we think these points are ok and we can try and meet the
  targets)
• Ray - has any thought been given to operations?
• Louie - run by staff.

3. Contractual process - MarkK/Louis

Major rewrite sent out "late". some comments received. more are desirable. DoC wants formal agreements for stablity. W/organizations not people. People are listed as ops. drawn from 2870 w/ modifications. RSSAC has an ongoing role in tweeking the specs. Something implementable now and can evolve to meet future needs. Exibit A needs careful review. The other document to our various legal staffing.

MarkK& Bill & Ray - what does it mean to "resign"?

Jun/Louie - two week turn time. (yeah right... :)

Missed getting notes for my stuff and Kato's
