Hi Olivier. No amendment to the agenda, just the usual concern about time. I am wondering whether new can keep agenda item 3 (public consultations) in 10min - or even less - avoiding, for instance, long explanations on what has happened and what is the status and do only Q&A. The agenda points to enough documentation on every item in the list, and there is no reason why members cannot read the material before the meeting instead of using prime time for what is necessarily only a summary of what is already available. When I have raised this in the past I have been told that we cannot guarantee that participants have read the material - to this, my cynical half replies that we cannot guarantee either that participants listen to the summary.

Olivier, This is maybe something we can discuss at the next Board meeting. I fully understand that this is an important topic, I am only under the impression that it normally does not take 10’ but maybe 1/2h, and that it is mainly reporting, non discussion and contribution from the ALSes. If others have a different perception, please correct me. If we had a leal interaction, I would welcome even a full hour of discussion, but if it is only one-way communication of the status of the different issues - which is anyway contained in the reference materials - it might be not the most efficient way to use the prime time of the teleconference, in particular for those among the participants who have already made the effort of going through the materials. Anyway, I might have biased perceptions of the reality, so I’ll shut up and move to “read only” mode 😁. See you (virtually) later tonight.

We do not do outreach for the sake of bringing more people to enjoy themselves in a social club. We do outreach to get a wider footprint into input to ICANN's policy processes. So I find it hard to reduce the policy update further, when it is only at 10 minutes length. Whilst I agree that we could omit repeating the points made in recent Statements, which participants can read in their own time, I do feel that we need to take the time to go through every policy comment period that are currently open in order to solicit input from the European region. I'll add to this that the amount of input from European participants in ICANN's policy processes is already very poor for the level of knowledge and literacy in this region. Indeed shamefully poor when it comes to the lack of input received regarding one of the regular focus topics that is the EPDP which at the end of the day is a process that originated in Europe and where we already have a lot of knowledge. I am always hoping that speaking about the policy processes raises interest in our participants to get actively involved, but perhaps I am wrong. How can we do this better?
