Hello George and everyone, We have not yet received any formal response from either the GAC or the IGOs. As mentioned previously, this may not be surprising especially as the set of questions to the IGOs is fairly lengthy and specific while our understanding is that the GAC continues to work on a response to our request for input. On the meeting agenda, we will try our best to circulate this to the WG shortly - this has been a topic that the co-chairs and staff have been discussing. Just FYI also that the GNSO WG Guidelines recommend that agendas ³ideally² be circulated at least 24 hours in advance (and I do recognize that we don¹t always meet that goal!) Thanks and cheers Mary Mary Wong Senior Policy Director Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers (ICANN) Telephone: +1 603 574 4892 Email: mary.wong@icann.org -----Original Message----- From: George Kirikos <icann@leap.com> Date: Tuesday, April 28, 2015 at 08:57 To: Mary Wong <mary.wong@icann.org> Cc: "gnso-igo-ingo-crp@icann.org" <gnso-igo-ingo-crp@icann.org> Subject: Re: [Gnso-igo-ingo-crp] Update and next meeting
Have we heard back from the IGOs or GAC yet? There's a meeting scheduled for tomorrow, but it's difficult to prepare when:
(1) there's no agenda (or it's disclosed at the very last minute) (2) there's no new documents to review, etc.
I note that ICANN Board meetings have their agenda published several days in advance (might be a mandatory rule). It need not be so formalized for this PDP, but I think most folks need time in advance to prepare for conference calls, given they have their "day" jobs too (or family commitments), beyond this working group. I think calls are far more productive if members have sufficient time to spend reviewing and contemplating the materials well in advance of the calls.
Sincerely,
