I saw the call for "bidding" on hosting a Latin American meeting for ICANN.
Looked just long enough to start calculating costs. Read a brief piece on the
enviro foot print of just a few moments of total google searches versus more
traditional "driving or calling around". Looked a Georges' piece on eservice
concepts in the UDRP. No question we act more responsibly as earth citizens by
limiting shipping our bodies about for discussion.
But then;
I am working on the Jury selection for a trial on a rather heinous allegation
of mayhem and debauchery imposed on a minor. I am convinced the defendant has
her best chance of "winning" by obtaining multiple mistrials by way of hung
Juries as the facts are not in her favor. Clearly the psycho design of the 12
will be aimed at discordance and conflicting types so agreement is minimized.
Engineers versus theologists, housewives versus upwardly mobile female
professionals and the like. Then build in natural pro and antagonism of sexes,
ages, height and weight.
But it is the physical interactions that leave me blind. It is nearly
impossible to predict attractions and dislikes of a purely physical nature.
Hence work in matters like sweat;

subconscious cues we send each other.
No I do not think that ICANNs physical meetings are the best venue for
predictable logical analysis and policy setting. By using the buffers of our
electronic age we can eliminate the human fallacies, frailties and powers that
misdirect our judgments.
OTOH I think friendships and building common experiences are invaluable to
getting along. Trouble is that, that does not always look the best "on paper".
