[council] Fwd: Tweets from "GNSO"

[David Cake]

Speaking of sharing by all possible means, etc - I noticed the other day that the GNSO does not have a wikipedia page, though peer groups like the CCNSO and ALAC do.

Following fellow Councillors who have Twitter accounts is a good idea.  If we put together a list, I would be happy to be included @crediblecontext

Sorry for the delay in responding -- off on a bit of holiday after the end of the school year ...

Avri, it seems to me that it is important to have a forum/account where the GNSO speaks ex cathedra (i.e., where official positions (resolutions) and official informational links are communicated). This seems like the role of the chair (Jonathan, with support from the staff). If I understand you, that was what you were wanting to protect. I completely agree with that.

What I was attempting to say was that I think we would also benefit from a single location where all the council members could express (a) professional opinions and (b) positions of the groups they represent. I say this because it isn't always easy for us, and certainly not for others, to track down all the various venues in which we individually communicate (Twitter, Linkedin, other social media, blogs ...). I would certainly benefit from that, and I suspect others would too. We can clearly do that via this email stream, but we do not have (to my knowledge) any other shared forum to share perspectives with the public/community.
One of the virtues of Twitter is its brevity, and maybe a shared account for us would be of benefit.

My final, general observation is that more sharing is good -- especially in this crucial transition period

Just a few thoughts ...
Dan

Do you mean from the GNSO account or from their personal accounts?

I agree with regard to our own accounts, but I think that the GNSO account should only be used with approval of the Chair of the GNSO.

I assume it has been.
