RE: [council] Fwd: Tweets from "GNSO"

["Reed, Daniel A" <dan-reed@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry for the delay in responding -- off on a bit of holiday after the end of 
the school year ...

Avri, it seems to me that it is important to have a forum/account where the 
GNSO speaks ex cathedra (i.e., where official positions (resolutions) and 
official informational links are communicated).  This seems like the role of 
the chair (Jonathan, with support from the staff).  If I understand you, that 
was what you were wanting to protect.  I completely agree with that.

What I was attempting to say was that I think we would also benefit from a 
single location where all the council members could express (a) professional 
opinions and (b) positions of the groups they represent.  I say this because it 
isn't always easy for us, and certainly not for others, to track down all the 
various venues in which we individually communicate (Twitter, Linkedin, other 
social media, blogs ...).  I would certainly benefit from that, and I suspect 
others would too.  We can clearly do that via this email stream, but we do not 
have (to my knowledge) any other shared forum to share perspectives with the 
public/community.  
One of the virtues of Twitter is its brevity, and maybe a shared account for us 
would be of benefit.

My final, general observation is that more sharing is good -- especially in 
this crucial transition period

Just a few thoughts ...
Dan

Do you mean from the GNSO account or from their personal accounts?

I agree with regard to our own accounts, but I think that the GNSO account 
should only be used with approval of the Chair of the GNSO.

I assume it has been.
