RE: [council] Draft minutes of GNSO Council teleconference 29 May 2008

["Philip Sheppard" <philip.sheppard@xxxxxx>]

I am increasingly concerned that the GNSO minutes are overly long and detract 
from our work.
The current set is 17 pages long. Finding the relevant details - actions we 
agreed upon -
is hard.

Is it really necessary to record every detail of "he said" "she said" and "he 
said again"? 
If people want a minute by minute record we have the audio file.
A set of minutes should reflect:
1. Who was there
2. What was discussed (including key questions but not every question).
3. What was agreed.

This level of detail seems to have grown. Past DNSO and GNSO minutes were not 
so lengthy.
Has there been direction from the Chair to the GNSO secretary to do them in 
this way?
If so why?
If not, lets ask for shorter minutes please.
