Re: [council] Motion on Transparency of Council Meetings


Wondering if that can also be the case for every Board meeting, working group 
and drafting team?

Subject: [council] Motion on Transparency of Council Meetings


Hello,

In light of the bit of conversation over the past couple days concerning the 
relationship between Council members and their SGs, the ATRT process and our 
pending meeting with them, and internal discussions in NCSG, I hear by make the 
following motion.




MOTION ON ENHANCING THE TRANSPARENCY OF GNSO COUNCIL MEETINGS

WHEREAS the Affirmation of Commitments mandates that ICANN processes be made as 
transparent as possible;

WHEREAS the GNSO Council seeks to promote broad community awareness of and 
engagement in GNSO activities;

WHEREAS the GNSO Council is a management team whose elected members represent 
their respective Stakeholder Groups in a manner determined by those Stakeholder 
Groups;

WHEREAS this representation function would be enhanced if Stakeholder Group 
members were able to listen in real time to Council meetings; and

WHEREAS it would be impractical to open the GNSO Council meeting teleconference 
facility to Stakeholder Group members;

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT:

RESOLVED that beginning in July 2010, all GNSO Council teleconference meetings 
will be audiocast (in addition to being recorded) so that members of the 
community can listen in real time.
