May I mention again the online meeting participation website for the Delhi meeting, found at http://del.icann.org. If people have suggestions for improvement over previous sites, please raise them now as time gets very tight just prior to a meeting. If you go to the main participation site at http://public.icann.org you will see I have set up a discussion forum where you can thrash about ideas.

This is true. But when everyone of us was appointed to their possitions we already new the time we had to devote to ICANN so I don`t see why we should complaint now
Because this isn't just about your precious time, but about the possibility to bring a broader public into these meetings. The Internet at large, you know... Sure, ICANN staff will ultimately take care of travel arrangements for ALAC members and other appointees, modulo the usual little signals such as not being put into the same hotel as the board members. But what do you do about others who are members of this community, might have valuable insights to contribute, and for sure won't cough up $500 per night in terms of hotel expenses -- either out of their own pocket, or out of an expense account? -- Thomas Roessler <roessler@does-not-exist.org> _______________________________________________ ALAC mailing list ALAC@atlarge-lists.icann.org http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/alac_atlarge-lists.icann.org At-Large Official Site: http://www.alac.icann.org ALAC Independent: http://www.icannalac.org
