1. Financial Update
2. Technical Update
3. Any upcoming or past events related to IGSN

1. Present: Hans-Joachim W.-A., Jens K., Uli H., Lee A., Dirk F., Kerstin L., Leslie H. (notes), Irina B., Marshall M., Anders N., Cathy C.
2. Financial update
   1. The bank account is now completely set up in Potsdam.
   2. Invoices for the membership fee will be sent out soon, likely the beginning of June.
   3. Because of the high currency exchange fees, there was also a “Dollar account” set up for those members in the U.S., to cut down on fees for exchanging the money.
   4. When the invoices are sent, there will also be a reminder of the responsibilities of the members and what being a member entails.
   5. It has not yet been determined if there will be a lower membership fee for Associate Members as opposed to Full Members. There are not Associate Members at this time. It would make sense if it were lower since they have less rights. We could also ask for donations from commercial participants.
   6. Question: is there a target budget? Answer: To cover the General Assembly costs at AGU (usually less than $1000 per year), outreach, professionally designed brochures, make the website nicer with more information and better design. No salaries planned, though that could come up at a later point.
3. Technical update
   1. LH: Now that we have multiple allocating agents, the next step is to take stock of who will be planning to become allocating agents soon.
   2. Jens: Currently, it is a manual process. A namespace is requested, a ticket is created, there is an action taken, then the namespace is manually entered into the wiki. There is a namespace proposal in the wiki, we should outline the governance procedure to follow it, then from there develop the technical procedure.
   3. To draft the procedures for discussion at the next call, the following group will meet: Anthony K. (volunteered by Cathy C.), Cathy C., Jens, Kerstin/Leslie.
   4. Target to have the draft by the end of July.
   5. Dirk: will there still be a technical workshop on the infrastructure? This would drive the timeline of allocating agents. KL: Yes, but there is no central funding for this now. Members would have to cover the costs.

1. Send email to members asking who will be allocating IGSNs soon.
