OR asked JC if he wanted to discuss any topic of the agenda before he depart from the meeting

6. IANA Allocation to the IETF
JC suggested to keep supporting the special allocation of IPv4 space to the IETF when is needed however better communication should be on place when this happens.
PW considered that IANA should make such communications. PW agreed that the RIRs should have no say in the special allocation to the IETF.
JC asked if there was a communication from IANA to any of the technical coordination list on the special allocations to the IETF that could be used for the RIR community.
PW agreed that such communication would be a useful.
OR volunteered to ask Elise Gerich if there was any communication that could be used publicly on the special allocations to the IETF by the RIRs.
NEW ACTION ITEM 160316-01 OR to ask Elise Gerich regarding the IANA communications to any technical coordination list about special allocations to the IETF that could be used by the RIR to inform their communities.
PW agreed that this was a straightforward operational question.
JC and AP agreed
JC suggested to talk to the IETF about the possibility that in the future direct IPv4 allocations could be made from the RIR to the IETF once the IANA pool is fully exhausted.
OR asked JC to do the approach with IETF, as JC understands the issue in details
JC gladly accepted the task.
NEW ACTION ITEM 160316-02 JC draft a message to the IETF about future direct IPv4 special allocation from the RIRs to the IETF.
8 ASO AC ICANN Director Selection Process
JC said that in the process of working in the ICANN Bylaws drafting team, he found out that the bylaws clearly prohibits the participation, discussion and voting of members of supporting organization councils that are candidates to the ICANN Board in their respective election process. JC added that the ASO procedures should reflect this restriction and inform the ASO AC as soon as possible.
At this point and as advised at the start of the meeting, JC left the call at 11:58 UTC
OR asked GV to communicate the ASO AC about the inconsistency between ICANN Bylaws and ASO Procedures.
NEW ACTION ITEM 20160316-03 GV to communicate to the ASO AC the inconsistency between ICANN Bylaws and ASO Procedures regarding the participation in the election process of ASO AC members running for ICANN Board.
