Fwd: Postponing or amending MOTION ON ENHANCING THE TRANSPARENCY OF GNSO COUNCIL?
I would like to propose the following amendment as friendly on Bill's motion (agenda item 7.2). Bill, Olga, would you accept as friendly? Stéphane Début du message réexpédié :
RESOLVED that the Council asks staff to determine the costs associated with audiocasting all GNSO Council teleconference meetings (in addition to being recorded) so that members of the community can listen in real time. In making this determination, staff shall assess the services and prices of external suppliers, as well the cost of providing such services internally through ICANN's own network operations. Staff is asked to provide cost information on the available options to the Council prior to its meeting on 15 July 2010.
Hi Stephane, Looks familiar…:-) But I'm a bit unclear as to whether it's really necessary anymore. As noted we've been told by quite a few people that web audiocasting from a teleconference is doable and ought to be quite affordable, and Chuck has said that while the registries would prefer to know just how much it would cost, they're be prepared to support it either way. So the question is, are there a lot of folks who really feel we need a number first, or shall we just pull the trigger and send a nice signal from Brussels? Again, I will do whatever makes folks happy, but if there's not a real contingent for delaying then why bother? Bill On Jun 23, 2010, at 11:29 AM, Stéphane Van Gelder wrote:

Thanks Bill, The registrars would like to see numbers first. Let's discuss when this point comes up in today's agenda. Stéphane Le 23 juin 2010 à 11:37, William Drake a écrit :

Given that the requirements for audio streaming are a audio input jack (found on most any PC), a relatively simple interface connecting it to the teleconference bridge, audio streaming software (free or proprietary) which I cannot imagine that ICANN doesn't already have) and a moderate-speed Internet connection, it is hard to imagine that this will be financially- or skill-challenging.
