Desde: vanda@scartezini.org My opinion is that losing the opportunity to be together is not good once we generally have no other opportunities. I think the best thing would be to keep the meetings but as breakfast at 7:30 until 8:30 or as lunch for no opportunity. I remember that we improved communication a lot after the meeting in Los Angeles. Imagine for Africans who have worse internet as an opportunity to meet in Africa? This is my position but we will listen to the others. I agree that we have annual regional meetings outside of the ICANN General Assembly meeting at the end of the year.

We have until 1 May 23:00 UTC to comment on this topic. regards ----------------------------------------- Dear All, During ICANN 58, ALAC leaders and Regional leaders discussed the need for more time to discuss joint issues as a team during ICANN meetings or for Working Group meetings. In order to open more time on the At-Large meeting calendar, the suggestion was made to start a pilot to reduce the number of monthly meetings of RALOs during ICANN meetings, in particular during the Community Forum March) and the Policy meeting (June meeting) The suggestion is that only the RALO where the ICANN meeting is held would have its monthly meeting face-to-face during the ICANN meeting. RALOs who need to plan events to be held either in the months following the ICANN meeting or at the next ICANN meeting could have informal sessions if they so wished. Monthly meetings of the RALOs would continue via teleconference. The ALAC is asking RALO leaders to ask their members if they have an opinion about NOT implementing this pilot and informing the ALAC until Tuesday 2 May <x-apple-data-detectors://0> Best regards, Heidi Sent from my iPhone [[--Original text (es) http://mm.icann.org/transbot_archive/7582d57939.html --]]
