Notes from previous meeting were reviewed and approved.

ASC reviewed the Draft charges for each of the four new councils. It was noted that the new governance structure will benefit from opportunity for conversation between the councils.  

Current council assignments were also reviewed. There has been enough attrition on the councils that more than usual will be elected this year.  It will work best at this time to move folks from the current councils evenly into the new council structure so any narrowness of thinking is dispersed.  ASC members were given an opportunity to choose where in the new governance they’d like to serve.   This information will be shared with the GNC.

The election process was reviewed.  Maximum openness and participation will be ensured by inviting all members to submit names for the councils and the board.  A sub-committee of the GNC will oversee the process.

Ideas for Internet2-wide Strategic Planning were discussed.  It was also suggested that the ASC Strategic Plan be reviewed.

Next meeting of the ASC will be Wednesday, March 28th at 1:00 PM Eastern.
