<p class=MsoNormal>We may be misunderstanding each other here. I did not
suggest opening the Adobe Connect rooms to all comers, which could indeed
become a mess with unknown unknowns commenting in the chat etc. I asked
only that we audiocast the calls so people could listen.<br>

<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>Audiocasting the teleconferences (not through Adobe) but through
our telecom conference service provider will be more expensive, and will add
complexity that we must also consider (still happy to pursue and provide
information, I am just making that point). Would the toll free numbers be made
public? Today that is not done, Glen sends the relevant dial ins to the
permitted participants (e.g. Councilors and staff). Often people need to be
dialed out to, each of these is done individually, so there is considerable staff
overhead to coordinate access for each ad hoc participant, in addition to
additional toll charges. So if this process continues, listeners would need to
RSVP in advance so that the information can be provided. It can be very labor
intensive today, these costs would increase if we were to have many more “listeners”.
Making the call-in numbers public (in order to avoid this overhead) may create
other issues to consider.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Oh, I just meant that my proposal was that we decide on
Wednesday whether to do this (based on the assumption that the cost is at least
as manageable as it is for organizations that have far fewer resources and yet
do it), rather than that we ask for cost info and put off making a decision
until a future Council meeting. With the ATRT process and related themes
in the air, it'd have been a nice signal to have the announcement be one of the
headlines out of the Brussels meeting. Friendly GACers might even mention
it at the ITU Plenipotentiary in October when the usual themes arise.<o:p></o:p></p>

can be in an Adobe Connect room without expanding to a special (larger, more
costly) room. And there are some consequences that the Council might want
to be aware of, for example all who access the adobe connect room would be able
to comment in the chat room (which might have both benefits and
challenges). This may not be important to the Council but you may not
know who is in the Adobe Connect room (and chatting) as individuals
self-identify when they enter. Also, you don’t say whether you

the issue and if there's at least the possibility that internal provisioning

<p class=MsoNormal>audiocast is different to what as councilors we use for
confcall. it is just classic audio streaming and it is not so expensive to be

Do you know if we have a cost estimate for the set-up of real-time audio<br>
calls? I think we might need that information in order to consider the<br>
motion.<br>

On Behalf Of William Drake<br>
Sent: 15 June 2010 10:03<br>
To: GNSO Council List<br>
Subject: [council] Motion on Transparency of Council Meetings<br>
<br>
<br>
Hello,<br>
<br>
In light of the bit of conversation over the past couple days concerning<br>
the relationship between Council members and their SGs, the ATRT process<br>
and our pending meeting with them, and internal discussions in NCSG, I<br>
hear by make the following motion.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
MOTION ON ENHANCING THE TRANSPARENCY OF GNSO COUNCIL MEETINGS<br>
<br>
WHEREAS the Affirmation of Commitments mandates that ICANN processes be<br>
made as transparent as possible;<br>
<br>
WHEREAS the GNSO Council seeks to promote broad community awareness of<br>
and engagement in GNSO activities;<br>
<br>
WHEREAS the GNSO Council is a management team whose elected members<br>
represent their respective Stakeholder Groups in a manner determined by<br>
those Stakeholder Groups;<br>
<br>
WHEREAS this representation function would be enhanced if Stakeholder<br>
Group members were able to listen in real time to Council meetings; and<br>
<br>
WHEREAS it would be impractical to open the GNSO Council meeting<br>
teleconference facility to Stakeholder Group members;<br>
<br>
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT:<br>
<br>
RESOLVED that beginning in July 2010, all GNSO Council teleconference<br>
meetings will be audiocast (in addition to being recorded) so that<br>
members of the community can listen in real time.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
