Stéphane, my assumption in making the suggestion was that the times
would be noted as the meeting was proceeding, not that it be done after the
fact. I suggested it because it would make the used of MP3s a lot easier. If
it is not a practical suggestion, so be it.

Alan,
Who
would do your suggestion #2? I'm not speaking for Glen, but I certainly
don't think she would want to or have the time to. Also, the Council
Leadership team checks the minutes of every meeting before they are
published on the wider list. I can tell you that I would certainly not
want to be checking and comparing mp3 recording times with the minutes
when doing that.

Two thoughts on
this:
1. I agree that we are custodians of the funds. As such, it
would be quite useful for us to know approximately what it costs to
create a transcript of a typical 2-hour meeting.
2. The MP3 would
be (almost) infinitely easier to use if the minutes included a notation
of the actual time each agenda item discussion started as well as the
time that the recording started. Then one could home in on the correct
section immediately. Even better if the agenda were updated after the
fact to include this, so one would not need to wait for the minutes to
be posted. The cost of doing this would be relatively
low.

Thanks

This question has already come up several times in the
past. I will let Staff answer this but I believe there are good
budgetary reasons for not transcripting every meeting.
I would
add that we, as a Council, are also custodians of ICANN community
funds, just like anyone else in this community. My personal opinion is
that if there are services available that offer sufficient flexibility
to follow meetings (and I think having an mp3, minutes and a live
audio feed is pretty good), we may want to think twice about asking
for new things that may be costly to implement (I don't know if that's
the case with this specific request).
Of course, if there is a
clear need, we should look at that. So once again, Staff is probably
best suited to provide you with background and a response on
this.
Thanks,
Stéphane

All,
A question came up whether transscripts are
provided for the council meetings. I was of the opinion that's the
case. But the Master calender on the publicly accessible GNSO
webpage only shows transscripts from the ICANN public meetings. For
the teleconference calls minutes and mp3s are
provided.
Transscripts seem easier to be handled for
searching specific items discussed at meetings, and there is
definitely a need for this.
I'd like to bring this up for discussion as
well as finding a council opinion on this.
Kind regards
Wolf-Ulrich
