Hi All

 

I know we share a lot of common angst about the cross-community or high interest topic sessions as a result of our collective experiences from Hyderabad and Copenhagen. However, I think we did manage to get the formula reasonably right for the Helsinki meeting.

 

The following wiki link serves to refresh our memory: https://community.icann.org/display/ccmeetschedplan/Meeting+Schedule+Planning

 

It seems that each SO/AC suggested possible topics for cross-community discussion and the then planning committee agreed on 8 cross-community discussions that were almost truly non-conflicted sessions.

 

Given that Johannesburg will be a repeat of the Helsinki format in that it will be a Policy Meeting, perhaps we can try to repeat that previous success.

 

The GNSO has a number of formal policy development efforts currently under way and we would like to use the Johannesburg meeting to progress these efforts, the same as we did in Helsinki. A number of the PDP WG Chairs have already requested the opportunity to have cross-community discussions on a number of issues currently being discussed within their respective WG and as such these discussions would optimally be non-conflicted sessions.  

 

It would be helpful to understand if other SO/ACs have similar requests for Johannesburg so that we can understand what the requirements are for the meeting and start discussing what is manageable in order to set expectations.

 

Thanks

 

Donna

Thank you David. 

 

I will attend the call, but I would like to raise a point here which I will reiterate during the call too

 

corss -community sessions: From my limited observation I have gathered that, cross-community sessions are not really cross-community . The group that submits the request normally decides on the format, who to invite and what to discuss. If that is how we want to hold such meetings, we can't call them cross-community. It is misleading. 

 

we could make a change in format: the submission has to be made by at least to members of different SO/ACs. They should have a planning team open to anyone who would like to join. Does this sound impossible? Has it been done before? Do we even need such sessions? 

 

 

 

Best
