strongly object to any closed formal meetings of the Council during the weekend
preceding the ICANN meeting for a gripe session or frankly for any
reason.  I have attended each of the pre-meetings of the ICANN meetings
for the past I am not sure how many meetings despite not being on the
Council.  I am technically an officer of a constituency, but never attend
those meetings in that capacity and would still object even if I were included. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

participate in these meetings because I truly believe it is where a lot of the
real discussion takes place.  The formal GNSO Council meetings on the
Wednesday are more show than discussion.  Maybe it is because there has
been so much discussion prior to the Wednesday meeting that everyone has
formulated their opinions, or maybe Councilors are not comfortable having the
discussions up on the stage, who knows.  The reason is not so important.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

there is a HUGE amount of policy topics and discussions that need to take place
on Saturday and Sunday.  Its hard enough to find time to schedule working
group meetings during those days (where many Councilors participate).  To
take up this precious time to do a closed gripe session is not only bad for the
reasons stated by Avri and others, but may also disrespectful to other members of
the GNSO Community that do come early to the meetings to work on policy. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
