[council] Feedback on Open Joint Sessions in Cairo
I wanted to provide
some feedback on the open joint sessions.
Positive
points
- it
happened
- it addressed
genuine cross SO/AC issues
Negative
points
- many issues were
ill suited to a single SO/AC view and so the chair was unable to provide
input
- the event was a
bit lack lustre because of this overly strong focus on the
chairs
- I did not agree
with the populist proposal to have every SO under the sun here just because they
exist. The event was intended to foster understanding on joint issues not be a
platform for every SO/AC.
Proposal
Imagine a large
empty room with one large round table with the full leadership of each
organisation sitting ie the GNSO Council, CC council, the ALAC, the GAC
leadership etc. It would be a big table - maybe three tiered in the style of UN
security council with one lead. But it would be exciting if THIS group had
answered the questions. Observers would sit around the group in outer
circles, interacting as usual.

PS Glen would you be
so kind as to forward this to Patrick Sharry also
?
