Many thanks Rafik. Can we define ‘not so expensive’?

Hi Caroline,
 
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 setup.

Bill,

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

Thanks,

Caroline.

Hello,

In light of the bit of conversation over the past couple days concerning
the relationship between Council members and their SGs, the ATRT process
and our pending meeting with them, and internal discussions in NCSG, I
hear by make the following motion.




MOTION ON ENHANCING THE TRANSPARENCY OF GNSO COUNCIL MEETINGS

WHEREAS the Affirmation of Commitments mandates that ICANN processes be
made as transparent as possible;

WHEREAS the GNSO Council seeks to promote broad community awareness of
and engagement in GNSO activities;

WHEREAS the GNSO Council is a management team whose elected members
represent their respective Stakeholder Groups in a manner determined by
those Stakeholder Groups;

WHEREAS this representation function would be enhanced if Stakeholder
Group members were able to listen in real time to Council meetings; and

WHEREAS it would be impractical to open the GNSO Council meeting
teleconference facility to Stakeholder Group members;

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT:

RESOLVED that beginning in July 2010, all GNSO Council teleconference
meetings will be audiocast (in addition to being recorded) so that
members of the community can listen in real time.
