[CCWG-ACCT] Venue & Travel - September Face-to-Face Meeting

[Dr Eberhard W Lisse]

Nigel,

are you an unfounded or unfunded participant? :-)-O


The issue is not funding, that has been clear from Day One.

The arguments recently advanced, are mainly amusing (as the one below) if only for their obvious self-servingness.

No, the issue is the short notice.

Even as a funded (appointed) member, I have to work for a living. It costs me four and a half days' worth of consultations and one surgery list. Never mind the weekend with family that I am almost as much concerned about as your average Swiss civil servant.

I doubt that there will be a "negotiated settlement" between the Board and CCWG, but whatever happens it'll not be behind closed doors.


While I am at it I am also somewhat amused by the distrust of the Board on principle by participants mainly from ALAC and gNSO, which as such generalities go, is mainly unfounded, whereas at the same time the specific ccTLD related Board atrocities (that have you, me and other ccTLD Managers so concerned) are largely and blissfully ignored. 

greetings, el
