How much time would the Board like to have papers prior to meetings/ retreats etc in order to ensure they are appropriately considered?
7 days if you want the Board to read the document from the GNSO. 14 days if you want the staff to have an opportunity to summarise a long document into a more readable summary. Bear in mind that there is an enormous amount of reading material that hits the Board from the staff and the various advisory committees within 14 days of a Board meeting. I found some of the recent reports from working groups a bit hard to wade through - the first half was preamble etc. Recommend some crisp executive summaries (ie no more than 1 page) that clearly identify the issue, the proposed solution, and the degree of support for that solution. This is the style we have requested from staff - we separate papers into a short summary, and more detailed material contained in an ANNEX. Regards, Bruce Tonkin
