Adiel pointed out to me that we already have an open session in LA in addition to the ICG meeting on the Friday. So I withdraw the proposal to have a special open consultation session during the ICG meeting. I do suggest that a combined open consultation session is the best way to reach the broader community. I do not favour individual community meetings, and particularly not closed ones, for several of the reasons discussed in today’s meeting - transparency, balance/fairness, efficiency/cost etc. Other than this, the ICG is comprised of individuals all of whom are charged with providing a bridge between their communities and the group as a whole.
