Discussion moves to the bylaw-mandated consultation between the GAC and Board 
in San Francisco in two weeks' time. This was announced by a Board resolution 
last month, but GAC members don't seem to accept that as binding.

Quick discussion about Board and GAC working together and on the JAS report

Coversation moves back to Board-GAC bylaws discussion. The GAC sent a letter to 
the Board the previous night that seemingly said that discussion in San 
Francisco would not be considered by the GAC as the bylaws-mandated discussion 
where the ICANN Board can formally disagree with the GAC and move forward. The 
conversation gets a little heated.

Various efforts are made to bridge the gap between Board and GAC and prevent 
the meeting from falling apart.

Issue moves to how long it will take GAC members to arrive at decisions.

Board members stress that both Board and GAC are *already* in the 
bylaws-mandated discussion.

along faster.
