Call#5 chat transcript - ICG Dinner ..
Thought it may be useful to post this in a separate thread .. Just want to echo a few thoughts that were shared in call#5 chat room <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/transcript-chat-icg-01oct14 -en.pdf> regarding ICG dinner .. * Agree to benefits of having an ICG social event /informal gathering .. * Agree with those who felt the dinner is a bit expensive .. * Will still join if no other options are feasible .. * Agree to keep it an ICG dinner to encourage communication and engagement among ICG members .. Kind Regards --Manal
Manal, thank you for sharing your thoughts. In my experience seated dinners only allow for a very limited interaction. An option would be preferable where free "mingling" is possible to maximise interaction.

I checked with the secretariat and it looks like we could do a buffet dinner (with a glass of wine included) for $80/person, where people would be able to mingle around rather than doing a seated dinner. They had previously looked at a bunch of options in the local area but for a group of 30+ people the $83 for seated or $80 for buffet was the best price they could find since most places require catering for a group of our size. Do others have preferences as regards to seated dinner vs. buffet with mingling? Alissa On Oct 2, 2014, at 2:42 AM, Manal Ismail <manal@tra.gov.eg> wrote:

Dear Alissa, Thank you for your efforts on this. Your option seems fine. I´d rather go with a buffet with mingling.

I prefer buffet rather than seated dinner. And my apologies if this issue was resolved, but while I am happy that the dinner is not “funded”, I strongly feel that the cost should be reimbursed to those individuals who require the financial support for their travel and incidentals. thanks, Paul. ________________________________________________________________________ Paul Wilson, Director-General, APNIC <dg@apnic.net> http://www.apnic.net +61 7 3858 3100 See you at APNIC 38! http://conference.apnic.net/38 On 3 Oct 2014, at 6:04 am, Alissa Cooper <alissa@cooperw.in> wrote:
