5. Determining coverage for IPv6 Group meeting in Geneva
The next ITU IPv6 Working Group meeting will occur in Geneva on 12 June. It was decided that a small delegation of one or two RIR representatives, would attend. CH suggested it would bet better to not ‘over represent’ and that she was planning to attend.
6. Timing/coordination of return to IANA of recovered IPv4 address space
The Chair suggested that any returned space would not have much effect on the operations of any RIR. Messaging on this issue is pending ratification of global policy. In the meantime, all RIRs would keep each other informed when returning space.
7. IPv6 Survey email
There is currently USD 20,000 allocated for the survey, which might not meet Maarten’s current proposal.
New Action item: 120410-04: AA to discuss cost of survey contribution with Maarten, report back to EC
8. 2012 NRO expense allocation formula
NRO expense allocation was discussed in the previous call. RE was not present in that discussion and raised concerns over the revisions.
RE suggested the contributions from the RIRs should be based on a simple income formula. The Treasurer suggested if an IP-based formula is used, that formula should consider IPv6 as well as IPv4.
The Chair suggested throwing out the new revisions and consulting the CFOs on a revenue-based formula and in the meantime to continue using the 2011 formula.
New Action item: 120410-05: Treasurer to ask for report from CFOs on expected expenses for each RIR under current distribution formula, to be discussed at next call
9. NRO EC face-to-face meeting
The location of the 5-6 Sept I* meeting has not yet been confirmed, but may be a good opportunity to work with those dates if a suitable location is found. There was general agreement to invite the PACG to join the NRO face-to-face meeting to give an update.
New Action item 120410-06: APNIC to suggest dates for a face- to-face meeting, including PACG, as the I* is in proximity to APNIC 34 in Phnom Penh, report back to EC
10. CCG Report and 2012 CCG Work Plan Approval
The revised 2012 CCG work plan was submitted with questions about translations and campaign messaging for future consideration, including IPv6 Launch Day, inter-RIR transfers, and returned address space.
At this time, there are no actions for the CCG. Regarding translations, PW had earlier suggested the relevant RIRs should take responsibility for translating materials as needed. Alternatively, the CCG could present materials to be considered for translation on a case by case basis. The revised Work Plan was approved, leaving as tentative the IPv6 Launch Day, provided coordination with ISOC will improve.
11. NRO 2012 Budget
The Chair reminded that 2012 NRO budget was pending for approval as RE still has to confirm his approval.
RE confirmed his approval for 2012 NRO.
The Chair declared the 2012 NRO budget approved.
12. IGF Workshop Approval
The Chair reminded that we have a deadline of April 20th to submit workshops for proposals for the next IGF. There are 2 workshops that have been circulated in the list. AP and AA approved both workshops.

The Chair asked to submit comments by this Friday (April 13th) so the CCG and PACG consider those in their final NRO workshops proposal for the IGF.
