The Chair started the meeting at 9:10 PM AEST. The presence of quorum was noted.
2. Approval of the Minutes.
The Chair pointed out that the discussions in the October meeting in relation to RPKI were not about RIR last /8 but legacy space.

JC proposed APNIC as new Secretariat to correct the draft minutes and circulate them to the list for final approval.

3. Review Action Items.
Action Item 110920-02: ECG. Produce Final Extended Stats Documentation. Arturo Servin to coordinate with RSMs. Arturo stated a draft could be ready by the EC’s meeting in October.
AS reported that there is currently a document under review by the RSM and ECG. AS considered that the current document is ready to be used by any of the RIR’s who want to implement the extended stats.
The Chair asked the members of the NRO EC if there is anything to approve in regards to the new format, or if this could be delegated to the RSM and ECG to resolve.
JC was ok with the delegation of the task.
The Chair asked AS if the implementation of the extended stats could be done by the start of the next year.
AS stated that APNIC and RIPE are currently using it. The main task was to collect and update the information based on what RIPE and APNIC are doing in a single document, so everybody could use it and this has been done now.
Action. Closed.
Action Item 110920-03: ARTURO. Check on existing documents to use to craft high-level RPKI documentation.
AS mentioned they are working on 2 documents. One of the documents is the RPKI transfer. The second document is the global trust anchor, which will include a description of the certificate concepts and global anchor structure. In both cases, AS mentioned the documents should be ready by the next IETF for approval.
The Chair reminded that this was agreed as a priority between ICANN and the NRO to prepare a document describing not only the trust global structure, but also the architecture and function of the RPKI. The task should be the maximum priority. Additionally the Chair clarified that the documents should be more practical and operationally oriented where it is clear that the 5 RIRs and ICANN are working on a hosted solution.
