Participation is voluntary and those who want to spend less time at the meetings have the choice to leave.</div><div><br></div><div>Eliminating the public Board meeting to save time sounds patronizing to me. I do agree that it is at times a theatre and that the format could be improved. Nonetheless, even if it is a theatre, participants get the chance to learn how the group works and what the views of the board members are. I also think it makes a difference for board members to express their views publicly, so they might even be more diligent (I am not indicating board members are not diligent, but chaining the format may have that effect). </div><div><br></div><div>While I do believe that the Board made this change with the best intentions, I think it was wrong (at least for the Prague meeting to start) and inadequately implemented.</div><div><br></div><div>- There was no consultation (at least I have not seen any) on this subject matter to get community feedback whether or not the community wishes the board to save its time.</div><div><br></div><div>- In its announcement, ICANN does not offer any alternatives to keep transparency at the same level. This gives raise to the suspicion that there will be less transparency in the future.</div><div><br></div><div>- Timing for this change is unfortunate given the TAS interruption, the upcoming controversial batching process and the IANA bid. Taking the meetings out of the public arena may be perceived as not wishing to publicly discuss these (and certainly other) important matters.</div><div><br></div><div>Maybe meetings can actually be streamlined and end earlier, but in my view, this should not be done in a phase where ICANN is exposed to criticism as much as now.</div><div><br></div><div>Thomas</div><div><br></div><br><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">___________________________________________________________<br>Thomas Rickert, Attorney at Law<br><br>Managing Partner, Schollmeyer & Rickert Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH<br><a href="http://www.anwaelte.de">www.anwaelte.de</a><br><br>Director Names & Numbers, eco Association of the German Internet Industry<br>www.eco.de<br><br></div></span></div></span></span></div><div><div>Am 03.05.2012 um 15:16 schrieb Stéphane Van Gelder:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Thanks Wolf and Wolfgang for your comments.<div><br></div><div>If there is more decision on this, could I urge others to chime in so that we can ascertain whether a full agenda item is needed on this, or whether the discussion can be had on the list.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br><div>

[council] Proposed Agenda Item - Elimination of Friday Public Board
Meetings<br></font><br></div>
<div></div>Thanks Margie, much appreciated.
<div><br></div>
<div>In the meantime, let me add some more context for the benefit of the
Council.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>In CR, Steve asked me what I would think of the idea of shortening the
ICANN meeting week by doing away with the Friday. This was floated to me as
just an idea. I was given no indication that it would be implemented one day,
let alone in Prague. And I was given no details on its possible
implementation.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>When Steve discussed this with me, I did not get the sense that he meant
to do a public consultation on this decision. This was a private conversation
and not one where it was at any time made clear to me that I should break
Steve's confidence and discuss this publicly. That is why I did not discuss
this here.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>This week's announcement has, as Jeff says, generated some negative
comments. Those that I have seen are that this decision was taken without any
consultation and that doing away with the Friday Board meeting is detrimental
to transparency.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>My own personal view is otherwise. I believe that cutting the Friday out
of the ICANN week is a step in the right direction towards reducing costs and
time challenges for meeting participants, including the Board. Over the past
year, I have seen the Board work hard to improve its transparency. We now have
detailed rationale on votes at every meeting and explanations of the issues
being considered. So I am comfortable with giving the Board a little of the
benefit of the doubt in trying out new ideas such as this one.</div>
