I think we should be very cautious with any changes to the public
forum. The public forum stands at the center of ICANN transparency
and accountability and any proposals to shorten or weaken it
should be avoided at all costs. The public Board meeting is not
vital for ICANN and if it disappears or is shortened, I guess not
many will mind. I propose the public meeting should stay in length
at usual. <br>
<br>
Yours<br>

Thursday change</b><br>

<blockquote type="cite"><span>SO and AC chairs,</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>As you know, ICANN50 is fast approaching and post
NETmundial we are now turning our thoughts to the
tricky subject of how to ensure that we carve out
enough quality time in the agenda to handle effective
and comprehensive public dialogues on the Transition
of the NTIA Stewardship of the IANA function as well
as the new ICANN Accountability track. These will
both require a chunk of non-conflicted time in London
and the ability to offer high quality remote access to
maximise participants from around the world. </span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>To the latter, we're exploring the possibility of
setting up a series of remote hubs as some of you will
have seen used at NETmundial to great acclaim. We will
explore this idea further over the next week or so and
keep you updated.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>On the scheduling point, we'd like to suggest that
for this meeting only we reshuffle the planned
Thursday agenda. Currently our thinking is that we
start the morning at 8.30 to allow those groups having
wrap up sessions to handle those requirements between
8.30 and 10am. We follow this with a two hour session
on ICANN Accountability followed by an early lunch
break and then run a session on the Transition of the
NTIA Stewardship of the IANA function from 1-3 or
3.30. This is the most effective time slot to
maximise international participation. We'd run a
shorter Public Forum from 4 - 6 and wrap up with a
public Board meeting finishing at 7 and then
Cocktails.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>The RSSAC would like an open session during the
meeting and we'd propose to put that into a Monday
afternoon slot. We anticipate that two hours will
probably be adequate for the Public Forum because the
Transition of the NTIA Stewardship of the IANA
function and ICANN Accountability topics will be very
important for the community and would likely take up a
chunk of the public forum under normal cirumstances. </span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>If you are in agreement with this suggestion we'd
like to communicate it this week to enable people to
firm up their travel plans. </span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>Please let us know your thoughts in the next day
or two.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>Thank you.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>Steve.</span><br>
