[council] Meetings: any logical order?

[Amadeu Abril i Abril <Amadeu@nominalia.com>]

Hi,

I agree with Don's coments on the most ligcal order for the meetings,
and I would like adding some minor points:

A) We all agree that the following is the most reasonable:

Constituencies
GA
ICANN BoD

The real problem is where should the NC meetigns be placed. Ithink
that Javier's point that a meeting after the BoD might be necessary in
order to stat the implementation of possible diecisions taken there.

But, as I have mentioned, I found disturbing and unacceptable that NC
did not met before the GA or the Bod, therefore being unable to even
have a hint of what we were supposed to explain during both meetings.
And indeed, making absolutely impossible to meet our duty to take some
responsibility for overall DNSO management.

B) I propose therefore that we maintain the NC meeting on Thursday
after the NC meeting, but that we add a new one, preparatory, on
Monday evening. With dinner, if necessary. (yes I know: webcasting.
But the role of such meeting could even be limited to :a) new NC "get
acquainted" b) wroking out of the final details fo the agenda of Thu
meeting c) preparation for GA and BoD presentations and d=
preparation, with GA chair of GA meeting). 

As for the GA, I have mixed thoughts about a whole-day schedule.
Sntiago proved that the only thing realy works there, under the
current cirucmstances is "consensus by exhaustion" (see discussion of
WG-A related motion....). Doubling the time alocation would only make
things worse. But as many othersfave already pointed out, it is not
worth disucssion about "how long" before having an agenda....

                                                                      
                       C) n cae we don't finally need a full day GA,
then the first NC meeting, could be moved to Tueday afternoon, being
the "big" one, using Thursday for last-minute things and the
unavoidable left-overs. This will also allow some efficient negoations
of unclear motions and the like....

D) What about WGs?

Do we beleive that WG B, D, D or E should meet at LA? In this case, I
would suggest Tuesday morning, before the GA.

Best regards,

Amadeu
