Re: [council] Next meeting - WGC and budget

["Philip Sheppard" <philip.sheppard@aim.be>]

WGC report
I agree with Caroline. I cannot see what meaning can be given to a vote on a
DNSO working group. Group members are self-appointed. So any ideas can only
be indicative - never representative.  The Names Council must view any WG
report as a set of options for the representative Names Council to discuss.

Budget
As a member of the budget group, I have asked Elisabeth to provide a
breakdown of the budget so that we can isolate the minimum costs of running
a secretariat for the NC and the additional costs associated with the GA,
transparency obligations and travel.

On this topic - and echoing Dennis statement at the NC meeting in Cairo - I
do not believe we should incur any costs for web casting of future
teleconferences until we have the finance to do so. If anyone disagrees -
would they be willing to sponsor? Adequate and concise transparency will be
achieved by the web publication of the meeting summary.
