  Volker A. Greimann:+1

  Bill Drake:nice nutshell, thanks M

  Bill Drake:define 'love'

  Rudi Vansnick:i'm confident that meeting type B will work out at the end, will be more focused and hopefully less overlap

  Bill Drake:9 day meeting would be fun

  Bladel:short story:  I am more concerned with C than B.  

  rafik:@James the purpose is to make the ICANN meeting a marathon :)

  Marika Konings:Maybe the DT could reach out to the different SO/ACs to inform them of this activity and ask how other groups are approaching this?

  Bill Drake:we are very metaphorical today

  Marika Konings:and note that the GNSO is planning to present a first framework in Buenos Aires.

  Marika Konings:which leads me to another question, should we plan for a session in BA with representatives from other groups to try and hash this out?

  Bill Drake:Marika you just spoke a fine liaison email to start with

  Bill Drake:meta cross community WG

  Bladel:@marika - I think that's a good next step.  Do we need something before BA?

  Marika Konings:We probably need to complete the framework with the DT ideas with regards the types of meetings on every day?

  Rudi Vansnick:@bladel : +1

  Bill Drake:please continue

  Bladel:Of course you had to raise the question, you are an experienced professional

  Bladel::)

  Rudi Vansnick:i also would like to avoid this timeslot as i'm normally in the T&T PDP WG every thursday
