[council] Feedback on Open Joint Sessions in Cairo


I wanted to provide some feedback on the open joint sessions.
 
Positive points
- it happened
- it addressed genuine cross SO/AC issues
 
Negative points
- many issues were ill suited to a single SO/AC view and so the chair was 
unable to provide
input
- the event was a bit lack lustre because of this overly strong focus on the 
chairs
- I did not agree with the populist proposal to have every SO under the sun 
here just
because they exist. The event was intended to foster understanding on joint 
issues not be a
platform for every SO/AC.
 
Proposal
Imagine a large empty room with one large round table with the full leadership 
of each
organisation sitting ie the GNSO Council, CC council, the ALAC, the GAC 
leadership etc. It
would be a big table - maybe three tiered in the style of UN security council 
with one lead.
But it would be exciting if THIS group had answered the questions.  Observers 
would sit
around the group in outer circles, interacting as usual.

PS Glen would you be so kind as to forward this to Patrick Sharry also ?
