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
