Thanks, Volker, for your suggestion. I’ve created a doodle poll so we can hopefully find a time / date that works for all: http://doodle.com/ymyvfebsmash3akt. Please provide your input by Friday at the latest. Best regards, Marika From: Volker Greimann <vgreimann@key-systems.net<mailto:vgreimann@key-systems.net>> Date: Monday 30 March 2015 19:08 To: Marika Konings <marika.konings@icann.org<mailto:marika.konings@icann.org>>, "gnso-newmtgstrat-dt@icann.org<mailto:gnso-newmtgstrat-dt@icann.org>" <gnso-newmtgstrat-dt@icann.org<mailto:gnso-newmtgstrat-dt@icann.org>> Subject: Re: [gnso-newmtgstrat-dt] Kickoff? Hello all, I am breaking the prolonged silence to propose that we hold a (regular) meeting in the near future to move ahead with the discussion. Clearly, there is a wide range of opinions and it would be disastrous for us not to be able to present some preliminary ideas by Buenos Aires and a more definite plan by Dublin. Best, Volker Am 16.03.2015 um 17:17 schrieb Marika Konings: Hi Volker, Thank you for kicking this off - as the deadline for volunteers was last Friday I was planning to send out a note of welcome this week but you beat me to the punch ;-) For your information, the following SG/C representatives are subscribed to the mailing list: * Bret Fausett (RySG) * Tony Holmes (ISPCP) * Rudi Vansnick (NPOC) * Volker Greimann (RySG) * James Bladel (RySG) * Bill Drake (NCUC) Volunteers from the BC and IPC may still be forthcoming. To facilitate the conversation, I have prepared the attached document which outlines the proposed outline for the three yearly meetings by the ICANN Meetings Strategy Working Group to which I have added in yellow the current GNSO meetings and how these may fit in meetings A and C. As Volker noted, meeting B is a completely different format which will likely require the most consideration. To encourage ideas and suggestions on how this meeting could look from a GNSO perspectives, I’ve added a draft outline. Of course, this is just to start of the conversation and thinking, taking into the 4-day meeting format. The objective for this group is to present the GNSO Council with a proposed format at the latest by the ICANN meeting in Buenos Aires so that there is sufficient time to socialise the proposed GNSO approach for the new ICANN meeting strategy with other SO/ACs as obviously there will need to be co-ordination between the different groups to minimise conflicts and potential overlap. On that note, do you think it will be helpful to schedule a conference call to discuss next steps and proposed approach for completing this task, or do you prefer to continue conversations by email for now?

The one meeting we should probably focus on is the four-day meeting as it would require the largest re-adjustment, whereas the "normal" and "long" meetings will probably allow the council to operate with business as usual. Frankly, I currently see no way of how to fit in the current schedules of the council into the small meeting unless councillors will be in session for the entirety of the meeting, and therely lose the ability to communicate effectively outside the council. We will therefore be faced with limited choices: 1) Fit the current schedule into the new meeting; 2) Cut down the council meeting to its bare essentials; 3) Add time to the meeting, very much like current practice; 4) Eliminate the council face-to-face meeting at the short meeting. Personally, I lean toward support for option 3, as the other options would result in a loss of effectiveness of the council. Anyway, with this, I hope a fruitful discussion kicks off. -- Bei weiteren Fragen stehen wir Ihnen gerne zur Verfügung. Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Volker A.
