[council] Fwd: Postponing or amending MOTION ON ENHANCING THE TRANSPARENCY OF GNSO COUNCIL?

[William Drake]

Hi Stephane,

Looks familiar…:-)  But I'm a bit unclear as to whether it's really necessary anymore.  As noted we've been told by quite a few people that web audiocasting from a teleconference is doable and ought to be quite affordable, and Chuck has said that while the registries would prefer to know just how much it would cost, they're be prepared to support it either way.  So the question is, are there a lot of folks who really feel we need a number first, or shall we just pull the trigger and send a nice signal from Brussels?  Again, I will do whatever makes folks happy, but if there's not a real contingent for delaying then why bother?

Bill

>>> RESOLVED that the Council asks staff to determine the costs associated with audiocasting all GNSO Council teleconference meetings (in addition to being recorded) so that members of the community can listen in real time. In making this determination, staff shall assess the services and prices of external suppliers, as well the cost of providing such services internally through ICANN's own network operations.  Staff is asked to provide cost information on the available options to the Council prior to its meeting on 15 July 2010.
