+1 Sandra about being more inclusive of others for input if they wanted to add anything, and a timer... but at least the Board were trying something different. Pity about Steve and Fadi having their backs to the audience, but they didn't start the cameras up until half way through so that the audience could see all the speakers. One of the disadvantages of a "round" table. Steve did mention that they too had had lots of volunteers for their limited places. Also I guess it depends on what the topics are and who has something of any significance to say. On Tue, Jun 23, 2015 at 10:04 AM, sandra hoferichter <info@hoferichter.eu> wrote:
Dear Alan, all, I was not aware of: " ...the planned intent was to have only the people at the table participate." And find this problematic, why should only some selected (?) people speak. Maybe I missed the point when this was agreed, but I would have strongly objected. If we have the claim to be equal footed within the multistakeholder environment, why do we introduce hierarchies among our self?
I have no problem with some people only sitting on a panel or whatever, but not being allowed to speak is the wrong sign.
A comment: I found it important to mention the visa problems of our member Beran, but after Fadi made a really constructive proposal the discussion could have been finished. We can take him by his word now and this proposal would really be a way out of such miseries.
I would support a timer, also to be introduced in our ALAC meetings.

I would appreciate thoughts on the new format that we tried today for the ALAC-Board meeting.
I'll kick it off with my thoughts:
1. I thought that on the ALAC side, it was too much an "Alan Greenberg show".
2. There was a question/comment by Sebastien that I did not take because the planned intent was to have onlyl the people at the table participate. In light of 1, I am not sure this was appropriate.
3. At one point we contemplated having a timer. In light of a few of the interventions, I am inclined to do so next time.
Alan
