Thank you for discussing this today. For future reference, the GNSO Rules of Procedure provides that all meetings are presumptively open, unless a majority of the Council votes to close it. The relevent section provides: "Except where determined by a majority vote of members of the GNSO Council present that a closed session is appropriate, meetings shall be open to physical or electronic attendance by all interested persons." http://gnso.icann.org/council/new-procedures.shtml#5 The ICANN Bylaws include an identical provision: "Except where determined by a majority vote of members of the GNSO Council present that a closed session is appropriate, meetings shall be open to physical or electronic attendance by all interested persons." http://www.icann.org/general/archive-bylaws/bylaws-15dec02.htm#X-3.8 -- Bret

I believe that both these references refer to formal meetings of Council at which an act of Council may occur Philip

Thanks, Philip. I believe the rules refer to "meetings" generally, without parsing them into "formal" and "informal" meetings. If the Council has informal meetings and a different rule on attendance than what is in the bylaws, I'm not aware of it. Bret philip.sheppard@aim.be wrote:
