["Niall O'Reilly" <]

        1. Administrivia (09:00, 10 mins) 
           1.1 recognition of Scribe  
           1.2 agreement of Agenda  

        2. Matters arising from RIPE 31 TLD-WG meeting (09:10, 10 mins) 
           2.1 adoption of minutes RIPE 29
 
These will require too much editing.  I suggest instead to declare as "Minutes" 
the summary given in the RIPE 29 Plenary.  This is already on the Web site 
(http://www.ripe.net/wg/tld/summary-29.html).  A plain-text copy is attached.

           2.2 adoption of minutes RIPE 30 
           2.3 adoption of minutes RIPE 31 

Now ready and attached.  HTML copies for the Web site have been sento the 
RIPE NCC.

           Proposals for change and/or (re-) prioritization should

Otherwise we don't spend time on this item.
