Kind regards, Glen Adobe Chat transcript: Marika Konings:Welcome to the GAC-GNSO Consultation Group on Early Engagement Meeting of 21 January 2014 Mike O'Connor:those dates are purely arbitrary - so view them as draft and subject to change/refinement Ana Neves:that's exactly my point, Jonathan. Thanks Ana Neves:I'm not so worried with the funding, but with the possibility to have like an experiment during 2014, which could help us on our work here Marika Konings:Funding would only relate to attendance at ICANN meetings, but should hopefully not prevent earlier implementation of such a role Marika Konings:And of course, should there be agreement on the role and need for attandence at an ICANN meeting, staff can always try to see if there is funding available for the Singapore meeting (but as you may have seen on the mind map and Olof and I developed, there are some questions that will need to be addressed / worked through) Ana Neves:Right, Marika. Thanks. Mike O'Connor:i'm happy to carry the pen Ana Neves:Good, Mikey. It would be helpful to have a new version after this conf call Mike O'Connor:right -- i'll work one out and circulate it within a few hours. Suzanne Radell:Marike's comments are very helpful, and I would agree that focusing solely on the liaison may not be the sole "solution" we should focus on Manal Ismail:agree with Marika and Suzanne Ana Neves:+1 Mike O'Connor:a larger group may also be less expensive -- an email list discussion for example Mike O'Connor:noted Jonathan Robinson:There is a little time Mikey if you do need to say something but happy to wait, here most in next call. Suzanne Radell:Agree wth Jonathan's comments Mike O'Connor:agree Marika Konings:We can translate the mind map into a table format Glen de Saint Géry GNSO Secretariat gnso.secretariat@gnso.icann.org<mailto:gnso.secretariat@gnso.icann.org> http://gnso.icann.org
