4. NRO commitment to OECD ITAC
RP reviews the events that led to the setup of the OECD ITAC. RE raises the point that inclusion of the NRO might not have been communicated well. However, he supports the result.
All are in favour of the NRO’s participation in ITAC. However all agree that some more formal and deliberate process governing the ITAC’s work and especially consultations with the members should be in place.
JC moves that Chair of the NRO EC should contact ISOC to ensure that processes are put in place for the consultation as necessary to make the ITAC a success.
AA seconds that motion. No objections are noted.
Action 200904-03: Chair of the NRO EC should contact ISOC to ensure that processes are put in place for the consultation as necessary to make the ITAC a success.
JC moves that NRO EC works together with OECD to ensure that both organizations work together with good results.
RE: Also good to talk to Bill Graham.
JC: Does ITAC have processes about forming advice. Until that is clear, OECD should weight individual members’ opinions.
PR: Probably NRO inclusion by accident / assumption. OECD doesn’t want to speak to individual members. ISOC didn’t have time to fully submit details to OECD / ISOC.
JC: want to make sure that until procedures exist OECD does not take ITAC / ISOC opinions as speaking for group.
PW: ITAC consultation already happening, faster and with less consultation with members than OECD expected.
JC moves to amend that chair should contact ISOC …..
AA seconds.

Regarding the proposal to have ECG chair participate in NRO EC teleconferences all agree to have all coordination group chairs present at NRO EC meetings. JC raises the concern that this might be the result of suboptimal communication and / or minute taking.
