Review of 2015 Internet Society Action Plan
Greg noted that this meeting was scheduled to give the Committee the opportunity to discuss the recently submitted 2015 Action Plan, including supplemental schedules submitted to the Board on October 24/25. Greg discussed the Supplemental Schedules to the 2015 Action Plan, and noted that they reflected no significant changes from the information provided to the Committee in prior 2015 planning updates.
