If Nigel is in the same boat as me then he has clearly stowed away. 😀

Chris, Nigel,
Let me get this clear: you guys can¹t participate in the calls in January because you¹re both on a boat trip?
And Nigel wants to abandon the boat because Chris is in too? I can understand that, but would have expected it to be the other way around (not meaning the boat abandoning Nigel)
Cheers,
Roelof

I'm very personally in the same boat.
I have attempted to add some value to the process, but in view of the nature (probably by design) of the proposed work-plan, I'm on the point of abandoning all but the most superficial of participation.
I'm sure others are in this boat with me ...

Thanks for this. Do you have a proposed topic agenda yet. I won¹t be able to make all the calls (and I expect others will be in the same boat) so it would helpful to have an overarching agenda for the calls as soon as possible. Apologies if this has been sent already and I have missed it.
Cheers,
Chris

Dear Kavouss, Dear Paul, All,
Some of you have raised concerns about the work plan and the decision to schedule two calls a week, announced in my 24th December email.
Participants to our meeting #73 will remember that this issue was discussed during that call (https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56986612). Key take away was the need for plenary discussions rather than multiplying subgroups.
While we certainly recognize the different views expressed about the timeline for delivering our final report, we are also trying to organize our calls in a manner that enables inclusive and informed debate about the comments received. 24 hours of calls in January "only" represent two hours of discussions per recommendation (leaving aside other types of issues that we dedicate time on during our calls). Two hours to fully understand concerns and find a way forward that is acceptable to all.
We hope that, by using a topic based agenda and providing a thorough analysis of the comments received ahead of the call, we can make the best use of everyone's time during these calls, so that they can remain driven by the willingness to understand each of the concerns in good faith and find common ground, as we have demonstrated in the past that our group can do.
If needed and desired within the group, we might have to rely on intensive days (possibly on a week end) as some of you suggested, but we are aware of the challenges of such an approach and would like to avoid that as much as possible.
As a follow up to the discussion that took place during our meeting #73, we will put these proposals for discussion during our next meeting, on January 5th, and look forward to your further contributions and suggestions.
Best regards, Leon, Thomas & Mathieu _______________________________________________ Accountability-Cross-Community mailing list Accountability-Cross-Community@icann.org <mailto:Accountability-Cross-Community@icann.org> https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/accountability-cross-community
