Generally, I agree that the calls are useful to discuss the inputs raised in the draft language documents. However, based on recent consecutive calls, as well as a few late-cancellations, there could be some quick improvements, including a queue of language revisions to be ready to feed into the IRT review process on demand. I agree that members should be familiar with the AGB and proposed revisions to help progress efficiently, in fact, I think that has been the case regarding most recent language revisions - they were relatively straightforward and only needed 10-15 minutes of an hour’s scheduled call. We lost 45 minutes of participants’ valuable time that could have moved on to the next topic. We have now also lost this week’s call, which is unfortunate.</div><div><br></div><div>I am not sure why we need to wait until March to refine the process to be more efficient?</div><div><br></div><div>Kind regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Martin</div><div><br></div><div><div dir="ltr"><div>Martin Sutton</div><div>Managing Director</div><div>Top Dot Ltd</div><div>M. +44 (0)7774 556680</div><div><br></div>Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On 4 Dec 2023, at 20:39, Anne ICANN <<a href="mailto:anneicanngnso@gmail.com" target="_blank">anneicanngnso@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Thanks Lars. I was in the SPS meeting in DC last week on Nov 30 but reviewed the Zoom recording. Regarding efficiencies, I believe it is useful to review the new AGB language in the IRT meetings as it becomes available rather than relying on email alone and input received to drafts in a format other than the meetings. The reason is that everyone should be familiar with the topics and the questions that were raised before the language goes out for public comment. We don't want to be getting a bunch of public comment on issues that the full IRT has already considered and hopefully the live IRT sessions are the most effective method for addressing the questions raised in the Google doc and otherwise.</div><div><br></div><div>Agree with you it may be appropriate to reexamine working methods in San Juan, but for now, I would stick with the tools we are using.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Thank you,</div><div>Anne<br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Anne Aikman-Scalese</div>GNSO Councilor<div>NomCom Non-Voting 2022-2024</div><div><a href="mailto:anneicanngnso@gmail.com" target="_blank">anneicanngnso@gmail.com</a></div></div></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Dec 4, 2023 at 9:02 AM Lars Hoffmann <<a href="mailto:lars.hoffmann@icann.org" target="_blank">lars.hoffmann@icann.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div>
