Marilyn & Sarah,

 

Unfortunately based upon my informal discussion with a couple of board
members it appears that there will be no more public board sessions.
Therefore it appears that all future Board meetings/actions will likely take
place in private.  Sadly over the last couple of years there has been a
growing number of board meeting even during the ICANN regional meetings
during which resolutions have been passed in closed sessions.

(there were 2 such meetings in Costa Rica).

 

I also will not be able to attend the May 7th call because of my attendance
at INTA.

 

Best regards,

 

Michael

That seems to be the right answer as far as I'm concerned. I agree with
Marilyn and Sarah.  Monday May 7th is the first day of the INTA conference
so I won't be able to attend the BC meeting.

Thanks Marilyn.  I agree with the concerns.  If they wanted to remove one
Act from the Theater of the Absurd, it should not be the public Board
meeting.

I will write today to the Chairs of the Constituencies/SGs/SOs to ask them
their views and concerns. Crocker mentioned it in his comments, but it WAS
not consulted with the community in any way. 

 

I do think it is a problem for actually fulfilling the transparency of
ICANN; however, I would like to hear from other members on your thoughts. 

 

It is expensive for business to spend 6-7 days, but the Board will be now
lessening its interactions with the community. 

 

In my view, at this time, a bad move.

In my opinion, a step backwards for transparency and accountability --
