[council] RE: [gnso-sti] Possibility of a Face to Face Meeting

["Mike Rodenbaugh" <icann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Again I am concerned that staff is organizing a resource-intensive F2F
meeting without a request for same from Council.  Again copying the Council
list.

 

The PPSC-WT is also trying to do this simultaneously.  The Council ought to
be prioritizing these resources across all our work, it ought not be done by
Staff and various WGs in silos.

Subject: [gnso-sti] Possibility of a Face to Face Meeting

 

Dear All,

 

I checked into the possibility of a face to face meeting for the STI group,
funded by ICANN, to facilitate resolution of the  outstanding issues and the
efforts to gain a consensus on an alternative proposal.    We are exploring
the feasibility of this request, and wanted to get some information from you
to assess the costs of doing this on a relatively short notice. 

 

Specifically, we would try to pick a location to minimize the travel costs
for the participants, and would likely pick an inexpensive locale in a
central location.

 

Do we have an idea of when to schedule the meeting?   We assume that it
would be sometime between now and mid-December.    Rather than have a
discussion on the list, please email our administrative assistant, Marilyn
Vernon, with days that you would be unavailable between now and
mid-December.   She is cc'd on this email.   Please let her know your
location as well.   

 

Best regards,

 

Margie
