[ga] Santiago DNSO GA Schedule - Is a full day needed ?

[Dennis Jennings <Dennis.Jennings@ucd.ie>]

DNSO GA Members,

The fact that the ICANN Board meeting is open to observers may 
clobber my suggestion that the DNSO GA continue on the 
Thursday morning - I was assuming that the ICANN Board meeting 
would again be closed.  My mistake.

But first things first:  
Are we agreed that we need a full day for the General Assembly ?

(we will also try to use this list for reports as suggested by Bret 
Fausett)

So far, the answer is yes - but maybe there are lots of people on 
the list who have not responded.

If we need a full day, should we 

(a) keep the published schedule and use the Thursday morning for 
the Working Groups (after all, we can only observe the Board 
meeting and not comment) ?

or

(b) change the schedule as has been suggested and move the 
Constituency meetings to the Monday afternoon - a view has been 
expressed is that it is not a problem to change flights ?

Thanks
Dennis
