Re: [council] Status of meeting planning for Feb 2006 in Washington
Tom,
No cynicism intended. By the same token as, for
example, some could attend if the meeting is in
Germany, I could attend one in this part of the world,
but dont have budget foreseen to travel to Europe
or the USA ? Also, since references were made
to cost optimization in some suggestions, I thought
I would contribute my five cents.
On maximizing, this inevitably means some get
excluded, right?
Best
Tony

Tony,
I don't understand the cynicism. Isn't it all about maximizing
the participation?
Best,

>>Purpose of meeting
>>==================
>>- using the initial report on new gtlds from the ICANN staff - carry

>>Given the need to work more quickly on substantive policy issues, a

>>
>>
>>Location of meeting
>>===================
>>- the Washington region has several major gtld registries and

>>- it is easy to travel to from most locations in the Northern
>Hemisphere
>>- we have local contacts that can assist with logistics

>>Planning so far

>>
>>Participation
>>============
>>- given that many Council members will be planning to attend the ICANN
>>meeting in New Zealand in March, and may not have sufficient time or
>>budgets to also travel to Washington, I recommend we allow each
>>constituency to appoint 3 representatives (which do not need to be

>>
>>
>>Further input needed

>>
