[council] GNSO Council meeting with the AT Review Team

[Stéphane Van Gelder <stephane.vangelder@xxxxxxxxx>]

Councillors,

The Council chairs have been approached by the Accountability and Transparency 
Review Team with an enquiry about a possible meeting in Brussels.

They told us they are having a public forum session on the Monday afternoon, 
but that they would also be happy to meet with ACs and SOs directly. They are 
trying to arrange a meeting with the GNSO SGs, but wanted to know if the 
Council as a whole was interested in meeting. They are meeting with the Board, 
the GAC and ALAC on Sunday afternoon and asked whether the GNSO Council could 
meet with them on Sunday morning.

However, it has proven impossible to fit such a meeting into our already very 
full Brussels agenda without squeezing something else. Therefore, it would be 
useful to get an idea of whether Councillors think there would be value in 
meeting with the RT in light of the fact that meetings are already arranged 
with each SG. In fact, it would also be useful to know which SGs have a meeting 
planned with the RT.

If people do want the Council as a whole to meet with the RT, then the question 
becomes where can we fit that meeting in our Brussels agenda. On the other 
hand, if separate SG meetings are being arranged, is there really any need for 
the Council as a whole to meet with the RT?
