I agree with David.

The CCWG Accountability meetings we have had prior to general ICANN meetings 
have been totally separate affairs from the general meeting itself. They would 
be necessary regardless of whether ICANN even had a general meeting. I 
appreciate being able to combine a working group meeting with a general meeting 
as it saves me both time and money in transport costs. I support the extra 
meeting day as proposed.
