Hi Lori, as far as I know, I don't recall that there was no decision made yet to have them meeting in Europe . all options are open while trying to move outside US. but it is time to resume the discussion and make some progress for the planning Best, Rafik 2015-09-09 7:15 GMT+09:00 Lori Schulman <lschulman@inta.org>:

I believe that there were already calls for volunteers to plan the next intersessional which will be somewhere in Europe in 2016. I volunteered for IPC.

With kind regards,

Bill, there is a CSG call on council chair elections tomorrow so I hope we can reach out to the other side of the house soon thereafter.

We are still awaiting NCSG response to our July 13 e-mail on the procedure for vice chair election.

I’ll defer to others re intersessional but I imagine the next step is to constitute a planning committee to work with staff on this.

Hi

This mail list slipped into silence some time ago but I’m wondering whether we shouldn’t be communicating about Council elections? Discussion of the 2016 NCPH meeting has also stalled…

I’m not aware we agreed on a location. Rob put up a Doodle with locations for the chairs/reps but we’ve not sen the results. Several people were lobbying for somewhere not snowbound, which would suggest LA or Singapore (probably too $$), or else somewhere separate from ICANN facilities like LAC (also $$). Would be good to hear the Doodle results… BD
