Re: [council] Fwd: Message from the GNSO Council Chair

[William Drake <william.drake@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Notice was given on 25 April that Rafik couldn't attend the meeting and was 
giving his proxy to Wendy, 3 days prior to the meeting.  It would have been 
better to simply remove the item from the agenda than to leave it on and then 
publicly lambast him post hoc like he just failed to show up.  In fact, as I've 
argued to Stephane before, I think it'd be sensible to check at the front end, 
before a draft agenda is posted, that persons to be named as discussion leaders 
will be able to attend and will have something to report.
