Stéphane,<br><br>
Good point (definitely 2 cents worth!). A full day would be a <br>
significantly large audio file and difficult to sift through.<br><br>
Jon - thanks for your response too. I checked out the ICANN remote
<br>
participation page:
<a href="http://public.icann.org/remote-participation" eudora="autourl">
http://public.icann.org/remote-participation<br><br>
</a>They have a forum link to discuss possible solutions but it comes
<br>
back with a 404. Interestingly, they also have the following page
<br>
with text transcripts from most (but not all) of the meetings:<br><br>
<a href="http://delhi.icann.org/transcripts" eudora="autourl">
http://delhi.icann.org/transcripts<br><br>
</a>Perhaps that's a possible solution for RC meetings for now.<br><br>
I wrote to Kieren and will get back to the list when I have more
info.<br><br>

bulk of audio to sift through.<br>

It would however be great to find some way of being able to distribute
the contents of our meetings to those members of the constituency that
aren’t able to attend. But I don’t quite know what the most efficient way
of doing that is…<br>

We definitely permit telephonic participation at RC meetings.
We<br>
usually have a handful of folks on the phone during the meetings.
I<br>
understand that the technology, unfortunately, is not always up to<br>
snuff, but ICANN tells me that they are trying to rectify any such<br>
shortfalls. As for other non-RC meetings that occur as part of
the<br>
broader ICANN meeting, I'd refer you to the ICANN public
participation<br>
site
<a href="http://public.icann.org/" eudora="autourl">
http://public.icann.org/</a> and/or the ICANN public participation<br>
manager, kieren.mccarthy@icann.org. I believe that there are ways
to<br>
participate real time, but I'm not sure if you can do so
telephonically.<br>
<br>
Finally, with regard to recording meetings, we definitely have had
some<br>
push back in the past about doing this from a number of folks. Is
there<br>
significant interest in recording meetings? The GNSO records
its<br>
meetings, but I don't believe that any of the other constituencies
do<br>
so. <br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
<br>
Jon<br>

If you're the right person to ask, would you mind clarifying the <br>
following for myself and the group, in anticipation for future
meetings:<br>
<br>
1) Is it acceptable for people on the phone to also participate in RC
<br>
meetings, or are they only permitted to listen?<br>
<br>
2) Is it possible for people to attend other ICANN meetings by phone
<br>
or only the RC meeting?<br>
<br>
3) Is it possible/acceptable to record the RC meetings and make them
<br>
available for download (by members only) via the new website
eventually?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
