I see your point about burnout from an extra day. We also probably
will lose people because they can't afford additional travel
expenses.<br>
<br>
However, the last two ICANN meetings, particularly SIN, showed
that we already lose important contributors to conflicts for our
sessions during the ICANN week. Client and employer demands, and
general "I'm up to my ears in this stuff already and can catch up
later" attitudes often trump the WG. In addition, based on
experience, announcing closed meetings during the week (assuming
we continue with that F2F model) invite the aggravation of having
to explain why.<br>
<br>
I'm not a fan of an extra day. However, I think it's the only way
to get the critical mass and focus that makes the F2F worthwhile.<br>

understand the benefits, but frankly it’s not possible. If
the group is okay with eliminating voices and viewpoints,
especially in a time where we are attempting to increase
participation, diversity (gender, geographic, socioeconomic,
etc.) and be more welcome to newcomers, that’s fine, but be
aware of the consequences.

the one big virtue of an all-day F2F meeting is that the

than stop short due to artificial time constraints. In
Singapore, despite the collective fatigue, we made far more
progress in the time we engaged than we would have in any
series of meetings adding up to the same time expenditure.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
