RE: [council] SO and AC Chairs meeting with Rod before SF

["Tim Ruiz" <tim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Two days for an informal meet and greet? There must be some other
agenda. And what does negligible mean? 

IMHO, if the Chairs want to make a date and show up early to chat, etc.
that's fine with me as long as 1) there is no additional cost to ICANN,
meaning ZERO, and 2) it is understood that they are there in their own
capacity and not acting on behalf of their SO/AC.

Councillors,

FYI, Rod is inviting the SO and AC Chairs to a 2-day meeting prior to
the ICANN SF meeting. The idea is to have informal discussions and to
help the SO and AC Chairs get to know each other better.

I have not agreed to going yet, but have asked what the cost of the
meeting would be, which part of the ICANN meeting this would come from,
whether the meeting would be official?

I am told the additional costs would be negligible and part of the ICANN
meeting budget.

If anyone is opposed to me going, please say so.

Thanks,

Stéphane
