[Acct-Legal] Fwd: teleconf: external legal advisors and CCWG co-chairs

Fri Apr 10 19:27:37 UTC 2015

This reminds me of a point I've been meaning to raise.  I'd like to request that the meetings of the co-chairs, rapportours, and staff be recorded, transcribed, and posted to the web so we can more easily follow along with the decision making process in the CCWG.  Please note that I do not make this request because I suspect any sort of improper behavior at these meetings, but because it would help us to better understand the big picture decisions and issues that we are facing.  And since we are an accountability group committed to transparency in our own activities, I would expect there to be no problem with such a request.

Thank you,
Robin

However I note that this overlaps with the CWG-IANA meeting of 19:00-21:00, which may be a problem for Sidley (if they are being called on to be at that meeting) and the 20:00-22:00 WP1 meeting, which may be a problem for both firms.  That said, it may be possible for each firm to use their teams to be in both places at once.  However, if there is a time that is not so burdened (on my calendar, 17.00-19.00 UTC on Monday is "free."), it might be better to suggest that.  To that end, would it make sense to suggest 19:30 UTC instead of 20:00?
