[Discussion-igo-rc] Discussion Sessions in Copenhagen

Sat Feb 25 13:22:19 UTC 2017

Thanks Petter and Phil.

Staff has in fact confirmed that these sessions will be public, so it's just a matter of fixing the published calendars to reflect this. We are working to get this done.

Thanks--

Same here - I have asked some ICANN staff on the status and got the information (or at least indication) that it is meant to be public.

The topic is important and of general interest, and if there is no decision yet about private vs public, I definately support and recommend that we have a public meeting.

If there is any special questions to prepare and discuss just between the members of our group, we still have time to do so before Copenhagen.

Best,
Petter

My understanding has always been that this session would be public.  As James said, that is necessary for Councilor participation.

Hello James,

My understanding is that the sessions are intended to be open and public,  and should appear on the public agenda.

I am not aware of any request to make them private from either the GAC or the Board.

Regards,

Bruce Tonkin

Thomas et al –

GNSO Staff has recently informed me that our planned sessions in Copenhagen are currently marked “private”, and as a result do not appear on the published main calendar.

I’m not sure if this is an oversight, or was something requested by the GAC or the Board, but please be aware that this isn’t an acceptable arrangement for the GNSO community.  In fact, our ability to participate in these sessions and to speak on behalf of all stakeholders in our community, is predicated on these sessions being open and public.  I hope that you understand and agree.

For disclosure, I will be sending a note to Melissa King (Board Operations) to formally request that these sessions be open, and added to the main calendar.  If you share this view, I encourage you to respond as well.

Have a good weekend –

J.

James Bladel

GNSO Chair
