<pre wrap="">I also prefer pre-Wellington "working days". Adding two days to an
already very long week is difficult for everyone as we all have other
work commitments.

Dear All
Just a quick note from the staff side. We usually arrive
several days before the ICANN meetings to do all the
preparation necessary for the Board, Council and other meetings.
The proposal to meet for two GNSO days before would have a
direct impact on the way in which the staff would plan their
involvement.
Before we make firm commitments about
times/dates/places/logistics could I confer internally and let
Council know what would be practical from our side as well.
Bruce's ideas about meetings prior to Wellington is a good one
-- of course, the Brussels office could be used to facilitate
those kinds of meetings for people in Europe and we could work
out how to do that.
Will get back to everyone ASAP.
Liz

Hello Avri,

<pre wrap="">Part of the issue here is that a face-to-face meeting requires
significant travel for most Council members - this is a matter of time
and cost. E.g it is at least a days travel for me to and from most
locations in Europe or USA.
Thus the proposal to meet shortly before Wellington was to
ensure economies of airfares for those that will most likely
be travelling to Wellington anyway.
Of course smaller groups of ICANN participants can get
together in local regions prior to Wellington, with the
Wellington meeting be an opportunity to consolidate the views
of prior meetings.
Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
