All,
I am of the opinion that a public (but bilateral) meeting with the board, who will after all take the formal decision on the CCWG proposal and will be responsible for that, is perfectly normal and should be considered as part of a sensible, legitimate procedure
I agree, although I will find it very difficult to make the dates suggested, and very regretable to miss it. That said, as for "the board, who will after all take the formal decision on the CCWG proposal", it is worth reminding ourselves that we have been promised a form of co-decision on this, pursuant to the Board resolution of 16th October 2014 https://la51.icann.org/en/schedule/thu-board/transcript-board-16oct14-en.pdf (See pages 13-17 of the transcript) So this process is complete when we and the Board have reached agreement. It does not conclude with the Board taking a final decision that may vary from our proposal, and which we may not accept: they may of course disagree with our proposal, but if they reject it the process continues until we reach a resolution.
