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, This is mainly my fault, as I used to write a short report, containing information such as numbers of attendees, in time for the SO update. Chris used to read it out and I guess that would sound more "formal" and capture everything of relevance. However, I didn't manage to finish it on time during the last meetings, so Chris had to do without. I think your suggestion to have a small group to sit down to prepare the report or slides is great and would help me a lot.

Hi Patricio As a lurker and user of reports as a benchmark tool - that would be very useful! Regards Mike Patricio Poblete wrote:
