Stéphane, The Registries Stakeholder Group plans to meet with the RT on Monday of ICANN week. As Bill states, if we can find the time, I think it would do no harm for the Council to meet with the RT. This is a critical piece of work for the community. Many thanks, Caroline. -----Original Message----- From: owner-council@gnso.icann.org [mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org] On Behalf Of Stéphane Van Gelder Sent: 01 June 2010 21:58 To: council@gnso.icann.org Council Subject: [council] GNSO Council meeting with the AT Review Team Councillors, The Council chairs have been approached by the Accountability and Transparency Review Team with an enquiry about a possible meeting in Brussels. They told us they are having a public forum session on the Monday afternoon, but that they would also be happy to meet with ACs and SOs directly. They are trying to arrange a meeting with the GNSO SGs, but wanted to know if the Council as a whole was interested in meeting. They are meeting with the Board, the GAC and ALAC on Sunday afternoon and asked whether the GNSO Council could meet with them on Sunday morning. However, it has proven impossible to fit such a meeting into our already very full Brussels agenda without squeezing something else. Therefore, it would be useful to get an idea of whether Councillors think there would be value in meeting with the RT in light of the fact that meetings are already arranged with each SG. In fact, it would also be useful to know which SGs have a meeting planned with the RT. If people do want the Council as a whole to meet with the RT, then the question becomes where can we fit that meeting in our Brussels agenda. On the other hand, if separate SG meetings are being arranged, is there really any need for the Council as a whole to meet with the RT? Stéphane
