+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.

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.

Betreff: [ALAC] Feedback on the new ALAC-Board meeting format

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
