It's also frustrating for those in the community that would like to attend both meetings.

Thanks Glen, Margie and Gaby.

These potential clashes are becoming more and more frequent and as we've seen from discussions over the past few days, less and less consideration is being given to official GNSO Council meetings.

In my view, it should be understood that Councillors will tend to prioritize official Council business instead of side meetings. This means that in this instance, whatever is put up against our lunch with the ccNSO, Councillors should NOT be expected by the side-meeting organisers.

Of course this is the official line I would like the Council to take but there will always be exceptions. That is understood and I am not saying that Councillors must attend all Council meetings whatever the circumstances.

However, I am no longer OK with the tacit assumption that seems to exist at meeting planning time that putting something opposite a GNSO Council item is fine, and drawing Councillors away from our official business is also fine.

Not only is that assumption detrimental to Council business, not only does it make those people working on our own agenda (Mary and Glen this time around) have to work twice as hard to accommodate these schedule clashes that seem to come out of nowhere, but it also sends a signal to the wider community that Council business is not important.

I am copying the Council as I would like to push for further discussions on this.

Thanks,

Stéphane
