I wasn?t in Nairobi so I?ll be interested to see in Brussels how well it
actually works.  

 

Adrian?s concerns seem to recur after each meeting and usually from
different Councilors too.

 

Take care

Bill's summary is spot on as far as I can remember. In Nairobi, Adrian had
pointed out the need to ensure Councillors get priority at our weekend
sessions. As acting Chair at that meeting, I tried to do just that. My
impression was that by allowing Councillors to speak first and then opening
it to other members of the community, we were able to ensure that these
sessions were productive for Councillors while still remaining open and
useful for the larger community as well.

Hi Adrian,

I would like to suggest that there be no questions from the floor during
these sessions.

 

When we last had this conversation didn't we decide against draconian
measures that would preclude community participation (and were hence poorly
received by some) and for some intermediate steps like only Councilors at
the table, chair gives preference to Councilor comments and right sizes the
time for others, etc?  If people think this has not worked sufficiently,
wouldn't it be possible to simply have an offline conversation with the most
relevant parties saying please respect the following ground rules, and to
reiterate these at the outset of meetings?

I'll shout an extra round at the bar on Saturday night to make up for it :)

 

Hmm...didn't I hear something like this a few meetings ago, didn't
materialize... :-)

 

BTW, on the matter of after hour amusement, perhaps I'll pass along
something I pointed out to NCSG, might be of interest to some here:

Hi

 

Just an FYI for people who will be attending ICANN Brussels, as with Paris
two summers ago, this meeting overlaps with the annual Fete de la Musique
held across France, Belgium, Switzerland, etc.  Just had a look at the
program http://2010.fetedelamusique.be/recherches?tid=
<http://2010.fetedelamusique.be/recherches?tid=&tid_1=All&city=Bruxelles>
&tid_1=All&city=Bruxelles and inter alia Saturday night 19th Toots and the
Maytals is playing in the park near the conference site.
