Maybe define what is the overall budget for meetings, and decide on priorities? Regards, Roberto

I think a face to face meeting is important to establish a more trustful and constructive working atmosphere. So far, we've argued most of the time and disagreed on almost everything. In my experience, face to face meetings do help to overcome such deadlocks. It goes without saying that a face to face meeting needs an agenda, yes. I've been told that ICANN would fund a board meeting if all board members agree that such a meeting is necessary. jeanette
I do not know who told you that, but whoever it is shouldn't have done so - you should be advised that since the European region just met in Lisbon, and since you will be invited again to meet en masse next June, it is unlikely that funding will be available for regional meetings from ICANN in between.
The board didn't exist at that time. As I said before, I find it important that the board can have a face to face meeting. A board meeting is different than a regional meeting. Who decides whether or not a board meeting gets funding from ICANN? jeanette
