Re: [council] Meetings transscripts
Two thoughts on this:
1. I agree that we are custodians of the funds.
As such, it would be quite useful for us to know
approximately what it costs to create a transcript of a typical 2-hour meeting.
2. The MP3 would be (almost) infinitely easier to
use if the minutes included a notation of the
actual time each agenda item discussion started
as well as the time that the recording started.
Then one could home in on the correct section
immediately. Even better if the agenda were
updated after the fact to include this, so one
would not need to wait for the minutes to be
posted. The cost of doing this would be relatively low.

Thanks Wolf.
This question has already come up several times
in the past. I will let Staff answer this but I
believe there are good budgetary reasons for not transcripting every meeting.
I would add that we, as a Council, are also
custodians of ICANN community funds, just like
anyone else in this community. My personal
opinion is that if there are services available
that offer sufficient flexibility to follow
meetings (and I think having an mp3, minutes and
a live audio feed is pretty good), we may want
to think twice about asking for new things that
may be costly to implement (I don't know if
that's the case with this specific request).
Of course, if there is a clear need, we should
look at that. So once again, Staff is probably
best suited to provide you with background and a response on this.
Thanks,
Stéphane

All,
A question came up whether transscripts are
provided for the council meetings. I was of the
opinion that's the case. But the Master
calender on the publicly accessible GNSO
webpage only shows transscripts from the ICANN
public meetings. For the teleconference calls minutes and mp3s are provided.
Transscripts seem easier to be handled for
searching specific items discussed at meetings,
and there is definitely a need for this.
I'd like to bring this up for discussion as
well as finding a council opinion on this.
Kind regards
Wolf-Ulrich
