RE: [registrars] RE: ICANN India
My two cents, for what it's worth (about a cent and a half probably J): recordings of long meetings (ours are held over a full day let’s not forget) are a good idea in theory but end up being very hard to use in reality because of the sheer bulk of audio to sift through. It would however be great to find some way of being able to distribute the contents of our meetings to those members of the constituency that aren’t able to attend. But I don’t quite know what the most efficient way of doing that is… Stéphane Van Gelder Directeur Général / General manager INDOM – Noms de domaine / Domain names 124-126, rue de Provence 75008 Paris.

We usually have a handful of folks on the phone during the meetings. I understand that the technology, unfortunately, is not always up to snuff, but ICANN tells me that they are trying to rectify any such shortfalls. As for other non-RC meetings that occur as part of the broader ICANN meeting, I'd refer you to the ICANN public participation site http://public.icann.org/ and/or the ICANN public participation manager, kieren.mccarthy@xxxxxxxxx. I believe that there are ways to participate real time, but I'm not sure if you can do so telephonically. Finally, with regard to recording meetings, we definitely have had some push back in the past about doing this from a number of folks. Is there significant interest in recording meetings? The GNSO records its meetings, but I don't believe that any of the other constituencies do so. Thanks.
