Likewise, I like the idea of the
sessions but with Kristina’s conditions. From:
owner-council@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-council@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf
Of Mike Rodenbaugh I also support these sessions, with the conditions stated by
Kristina. -Mike From: owner-council@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
[mailto:owner-council@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Rosette, Kristina I would
support both sessions on the condition that both are closed and participation
is limited to Councilors and relevant staff. (I wouldn't necessarily object to
including Constituency officers.) From:
owner-council@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx <owner-council@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> All, As most of you will remember, on behalf of
the registrars, I suggested on the recent GNSO Council call that we should try
to create a number (two) fora in which we could get together and interact on a
social and informal level, especially in light of the introduction of new
Councillors. I am not sure how much detail is required
but here are my previous suggestions that I sent Glen previously. I think we should do two events. The first would be to create an agenda item
on the Saturday morning where we could simply go around the room and introduce
ourselves and discuss openly any areas of concern - specifically to do with the
Council itself (points of view, voting etc). I know the registrars for example
would say that they are a little sick and tired of being pigeonholed simply
because they have commercial interests. I'm sure other groups would have pet
hates too. Secondly I think we should have a social
gathering on the Saturday evening (perhaps just a few pre-dinner drinks if the
budget doesn't allow too much) where GNSO Councillors both new and old and
ICANN staff (those that interact regularly with the Council perhaps) can gather
once again for the purpose of getting to know new members better and, more
importantly, for each Constituency (Stakeholder Group) be able to convey their
distinct and perhaps unique perspectives on the Council and the issues that are
before us. That said, it is a social event. It is more about getting to know
the personalities that make up the GNSO Council. I believe that we would need a show of
support for these ideas in order for this to happen. Can I please get your ideas/ thoughts/
suggestions or support to the list please? Thanks. Adrian
