The most practical solution would be to have the meeting outside Buenos Aires, as suggested, however with a (late) travel back to our BA hotels Friday night.

Best,

Hello!
I am not sure if I will be able to make the Friday meeting, but in any
case for just one day meeting I tend to agree with John. However I am
curious where is the new place? Tigre area?

Marika, et. al.,

I don't see the need to pack, unpack and repack for a one-night stand an
hour from the hotel we will have been in all week, unless, of course, the
trip puts us an hour closer to the airport. Our meetings are mostly in
dimly lighted, windowless, over air-conditioned or over-heated rooms anyway.

Session in Buenos Aires

Dear All,

As Jonathan already mentioned in Durban, the GNSO Council has received
funding under the FY14 Special Community Requests to organise a Council
Development Session directly after the ICANN meeting in Buenos Aires. The
objective of this meeting is to allow for the Council, including those
members newly seated in Buenos Aires, to get to know each other better,
provide information on the functioning and operations of the GNSO Council
and allow for planning for upcoming projects and activities, with the aim to
further enhance the co-operation within and effectiveness of the GNSO
Council.

We are currently working on the logistics as well as the programme for this
meeting and plan to keep you up to date on a regular basis with regards to
the details. For now, we would like to ask you to make sure to reserve
Friday 22 November in your diaries for this meeting (with planned departure
on Saturday 23 November). Furthermore, we would like your input on the
logistics for Thursday evening / Friday morning and would like to ask you to
respond to the following doodle poll: http://www.doodle.com/uq77rvafpx3cthkb
(in short, the question is whether people prefer to travel to the new venue,
approx. 1 hour outside of Buenos Aires, on Thursday afternoon/evening or on
Friday morning).

Thanks for your assistance,

Marika
