Dear all, One of the agenda items on the agenda of the council call 20 February was the ceasing the sponsored ccNSO lunches at ICANN meetings (agenda item 4) . As the Council was not quorate, you are kindly requested to vote per email.
ccNSO Sponsored Lunches Background Since the beginning of the ccNSO, the ccTLD Community has been invited to sponsored lunches during the two ccNSO meeting days. When possible, the Tech Day participants have also received sponsored boxed lunches. Arranging these lunches has been an extra service in order to create a good and uniting atmosphere among the community. However, providing the sponsored lunches have become challenging, due to:
- Increased membership and attendance of ccNSO meetings.The number of attendees has increased, lately surpassing the number of available seats/ free lunch tickets - Increased pricing; - Difficulty in finding adequate sponsoring - Disproportionate burden on the secretariat
See also the preparatory note from the secretariat
Proposed Resolution *The ccNSO Council decides to cease the organization of the ccNSO sponsored lunches as of the ccNSO meeting in London (22-26 June 2014), and to inform the ccNSO membership and broader ccTLD community accordingly during the ccNSO meeting in Singapore ( 25-26 March 2014).*
Please email to the list before 26 February, in particular if you do not support the resolution or abstain from voting. Thank you and kind regards, Bart
