Hello Chuck,
Very helpful suggestions Bruce. I have a couple questions for you in this regard: 1) Are meetings and operating planning the two biggest areas that you have seen where support in your role of chair have been or could be helpful? Are there any other areas in which vice-chair support could possibly spread the work load out for the chair?
The biggest workload in the month preceding a physical ICANN meeting is the meeting planning. There is quite a bit of negotiation involved with the other groups - Board, GAC etc with respect to getting timeslots for different meetings that are optimal for the GNSO. I haven't done much operational planning - that was more identifying a need rather than something that is currently done. Regards, Bruce Tonkin
