3. Discuss matter of Eric’s overlapping membership on ISOC & PIR boards

4. Discuss possible e-vote to form a legal entity in European Union
Bob said that he was considering starting an e-vote to approve the establishment because it would reduce the time needed for the topic on the June 29th meeting agenda. Dave volunteered to run an e-vote.

8. Update on plans for InterCommunity 2015
Todd Tolbert and Nicole Armstrong joined the call at this point.

9. Report on recent meetings: IAOC Retreat, I* Leaders, etc.
Kathy said that a number of issues were discussed at the I* meeting. The IANA severability issue came up in the context of the need to respect community processes. The statements that followed stressed the intention of the participants to work for a successful transition. She noted that Larry Strickland is reported to have said at a hearing today that the NTIA would not accept any IANA Transition plan that did not meet the criteria that the NTIA has published.
Kathy said that there had been a discussion in the IAOC retreat about future IETF meetings. She said that she had extended an invitation to the IETF during the IAOC and joint IESG/IAB meetings to participate in ISOC’s new branding initiative and that an initial meeting about participating had been held today.
