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

The impression I had from the call was that if a meeting were scheduled, the purpose would be to review all public comments and not to simply talk to the Board.  Talking to the Board  is a good idea but in fact it appears there is no formal meeting with the Board that has been announced and there will only be Board members as participants in the sessions.

I actually think it would be good to schedule a fixed time for a formal meeting with the Board where the largest number of remote participants can be included.  There seems to be some fear on the list of a “side deal” being negotiated.  If this is conducted as a Face to Face of the CCWG (as was Paris) then there should not be a side deal in Santa Monica.  (Am I being too idealistic?)

If there is a “side deal” negotiation going on, it is probably happening right now anyway and without the necessity of a face to face meeting.  I think the face to face meeting sheds MORE light on the process, not less.  It is also an opportunity to document discussion and consensus building with respect  to all of the public comments.  This is why I place emphasis on review of a staff summary of all comments received and that this staff summary would be available to all participants a few days prior to the Face to face in Santa Monica.

Dear All,
If all those actively involved and heavily snd constructively contributed to the process do not attend for one or other reasons, there seems to be the need for a CCWG call in which the framework of the discussion and agreement of all on the area of negotiation, if any are discussed and agreed upon.
The CCWG may not authorise few people having the authority to negotiate on behalf of the entire group
