Those of us together in Kigali discussed the idea of gathering informally to brainstorm and explore any very high level ideas you have about incremental changes that can generate rapid cost-savings, loosely grouped for ease around the themes of ‘How we meet” and “How we work”. That call is now set up for August 19th - thank you all very much for making yourself available to join - I know availability is particularly tricky at this time of year. Before we meet, I do want to clear up one possible misunderstanding. As part of setting up the meeting, Mary sent a short document out to you which contained some food for thought about meetings . This was designed to provide some thoughts to stimulate brainstorming but I now realise that the format and style of the document may have unintentionally given the impression that we are trying to change the underlying Meeting Strategy itself. That was never the intention - should the community feel that the current strategy implemented in 2013 needed updating then this is a much bigger issue and of course would be a wider community conversation. I know that since we met in Kigali many of you have been discussing and brainstorming ideas with your communities around how we meet and how we work which I understand has produced lots of creative thinking. It would be good to get your thoughts on those and any other areas you think we should look at when we meet on the 19th.

Ale, All, I think this a good distinction but it is only meaningful if we are clear what ‘changes’ are ‘incremental that can generate rapid cost-savings’ and what ‘changes’ stray into the meeting structure and strategy. For example, charging for drinks at ICANN receptions (unsponsored) would be incremental whereas cutting the meeting length by a day would be strategic/structural. So, I think the discussion on 19th needs to be carefully managed and I suggest that nothing should be agreed to by the SO/AC leadership without reference back to the constituencies.
