I would support both sessions on the condition that both are closed and participation is limited to Councilors and relevant staff.  (I wouldn't necessarily object to including Constituency officers.) I also believe the morning session should be neither recorded nor transcribed.  Neither is conducive to the level of candor that the productivity of the session requires.   Having the sessions be open seems likely to decrease their utility.

<p class=MsoNormal>All,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>As most of you will remember, on behalf of the registrars, I

suggested on the recent GNSO Council call that we should try to create a number

(two) fora in which we could get together and interact on a social and informal

level, especially in light of the introduction of new Councillors.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I am not sure how much detail is required but here are my

previous suggestions that I sent Glen previously.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I think we should do two events.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>The first would be to create an agenda item on the Saturday

morning where we could simply go around the room and introduce ourselves and

discuss openly any areas of concern - specifically to do with the Council

itself (points of view, voting etc). I know the registrars for example would

say that they are a little sick and tired of being pigeonholed simply because

they have commercial interests. I'm sure other groups would have pet hates too.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Secondly I think we should have a social gathering on the

Saturday evening (perhaps just a few pre-dinner drinks if the budget doesn't

allow too much) where GNSO Councillors both new and old and ICANN staff (those

that interact regularly with the Council perhaps) can gather once again for the

purpose of getting to know new members better and, more importantly, for each

Constituency (Stakeholder Group) be able to convey their distinct and perhaps

unique perspectives on the Council and the issues that are before us. That

said, it is a social event. It is more about getting to know the personalities

that make up the GNSO Council.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I believe that we would need a show of support for these

ideas in order for this to happen.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Can I please get your ideas/ thoughts/ suggestions or

support to the list please?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
