Dear colleagues,
I must confess that I seldom attend the Friday morning session where all
SOs and ACs present their reports, but this year was an exception.
My impression was that our report was too informal, compared to the
other ones presented. There was no written communiqué /à la/ GAC (we
used to have one in the old wwtld days) nor a PPT to be displayed while
Chris was speaking. I believe this style does not convey adequately the
amount and quality of the work done in our meeting. I missed a mention
to the number of ccTLDs that participated, and also to topics that were
discussed, like the proposed minimum length of IDN ccTLDs, wildcards,
frontrunning, the ccNSO review, the session on strategic planning, etc.
By comparison, the youth initiative was over-represented in the report,
compared to the very little time we spent on it during our two-day meeting.
I don't know what the best way to address this would be, but perhaps we
could appoint a small group to work together with Chris during Thursday,
to prepare at least a few slides for the report to be presented on Friday.
Patricio
