AW: [council] SO and AC Chairs meeting with Rod before SF

[KnobenW at telekom.de]

Stéphane,

I personally don't have anything against these type of meetings helping to improve the future communication between the AC/Sos. On the one hand 2 days seem a bit long for that purpose. On the other hand during these days short ly before the ICANN meeting the council needs your "presence, too, since by experience the council discussion on agenda items, motions etc. is getting more and more momentum.
Please take this into consideration  and let the organizers know.


Best regards
Wolf-Ulrich

Councillors,

FYI, Rod is inviting the SO and AC Chairs to a 2-day meeting prior to the ICANN SF meeting. The idea is to have informal discussions and to help the SO and AC Chairs get to know each other better.

I have not agreed to going yet, but have asked what the cost of the meeting would be, which part of the ICANN meeting this would come from, whether the meeting would be official?

I am told the additional costs would be negligible and part of the ICANN meeting budget.

If anyone is opposed to me going, please say so.

Thanks,

Stéphane
