Discussion opened up to room

  *   Heather Dryden<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#drydentwo>: GAC chair
  *   Rita Rodin Johnson<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#rodin1>: ICANN Board member
  *   Bill Dee<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#dee1>: EU Commission rep

Conversation shifts to the impact of the discussion process on timeline for rolling out new Internet extensions.

  *   Peter Dengate Thrush<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#thrush3>
  *   Kurt Pritz<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#pritz1>: ICANN SVP and head of the new gTLD process
  *   Bruce Tonkin<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#tonkin1>: ICANN Board director
  *   Peter Dengate Thrush<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#thrush4>
  *   Bill Dee<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#dee2>

Discussion moves to the bylaw-mandated consultation between the GAC and Board in San Francisco in two weeks' time. This was announced by a Board resolution last month, but GAC members don't seem to accept that as binding.

  *   Peter Dengate Thrush<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#thrush5>
  *   Heather Dryden<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#dryden2>
  *   Mark Carvell<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#carvell2>

Quick discussion about Board and GAC working together and on the JAS report aimed at helping developing countries

  *   Katim Touray<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#touray1>
  *   Sri Lanka<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#srilanka1>
  *   Sebastien Bachollet<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#bachollet1>: ICANN Board member
  *   Germany<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#germany1>
  *   Ray Plzak<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#plzak1>: ICANN Board director
  *   Bertrand de la Chapelle<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#chapelle1>: ICANN Board director

Coversation moves back to Board-GAC bylaws discussion. The GAC sent a letter to the Board the previous night that seemingly said that discussion in San Francisco would not be considered by the GAC as the bylaws-mandated discussion where the ICANN Board can formally disagree with the GAC and move forward. The conversation gets a little heated.

  *   Heather Dryden<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#dryden2>
  *   Peter Dengate Thrush<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#thrush7>
  *   Suzanne Sene<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#sene1>: US government rep
  *   Rita Rodin Johnson<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#rodin2>

  *   Heather Dryden<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#dryden4>
  *   Peter Dengate Thrush<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#thrush9>

Various efforts are made to bridge the gap between Board and GAC and prevent the meeting from falling apart.

  *   Bertrand de la Chapelle<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#chapelle2>
  *   Portugal<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#portugal1>
  *   Mike Silber<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#silber1>: ICANN Board member

Issue moves to how long it will take GAC members to arrive at decisions.

  *   Kenya<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#kenya1>
  *   Malta<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#malta1>
  *   Bruce Tonkin<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#tonkin2>
  *   Heather Dryden<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#dryden5>

Board members stress that both Board and GAC are *already* in the bylaws-mandated discussion.

  *   Bruce Tonkin<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#tonkin3>
  *   Heather Dryden<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#dryden6>
  *   Bruce Tonkin<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#tonkin4>
  *   Denmark<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#denmark1>
  *   Erika Mann<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#mann1>: ICANN Board member
  *   Heather Dryden<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#dryden7>
  *   Rita Rodin Johnson<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#rodin4>

GAC members push back strongly on efforts by the Board to move the process along faster.

  *   Portugal<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#portugal2>
  *   Mark Carvell<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#carvell3>
  *   Bill Dee<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#dee3>
  *   Senegal<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#senegal1>
  *   Suzanne Sene<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#sene2>

Second round of efforts made to end meeting on a positive note.

  *   Gonzalo Navarro<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#navarro1>: ICANN Board member
  *   Netherlands<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#netherlands1>
  *   Bruce Tonkin<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#tonkin5>
  *   Heather Dryden<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#dryden8>
