Re: [council] GNSO Council meet and greet?
I fully support the initiative (obviously). I agree with Kristina that the morning session should not be recorded if we want people to be honest. I am OK with keeping these as closed Council sessions. The idea here is to get some friendly interaction and discussion going within the Council. I do however believe that it may be good to allow constituency officers as well.
