RE: [council] GNSO Council meeting with the AT Review Team

["Mary Wong" <MWong@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I "third" Bill's and Caroline's sentiments, and note that the current
schedule for Brussels seems to show 2 meetings between the GAC and the
RT (three if you count the one between the RT and the GAC-Board joint
working group).
 
Cheers

Stéphane,

The Registries Stakeholder Group plans to meet with the RT on Monday of
ICANN week. 

As Bill states, if we can find the time, I think it would do no harm
for the Council to meet with the RT. This is a critical piece of work
for the community.

Many thanks,

Caroline.

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?
