RE: [bc-gnso] ALERTS: New Deadline - Call for Applicants for the Meeting Strategy Working Group: Friday 8 March 2013 - 23:59 UTC

[Elisa Cooper <Elisa.Cooper@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ron,

According to the ICANN website, "Each SO and AC is encouraged to send a list of 
volunteers taking into account the need for diversity and not limited to the 
number of seats open. This will allow the selectors (the CEO or his designee 
and the Chair of the WG) to balance the various factors more easily."

Hope this clarifies a bit.

Best,
Elisa

Thank you for reposting this list and information Eliza.

Having attended 40 of ICANN's 45 meetings, I am very interested in this issue.

I am wondering if other BC members share my concern about this statement: As 
clearly noted in the ICANN materials, the number of representatives per SO will 
be between 1 and 4, with no guarantee of any specific number.?  Who is making 
the determination and why such a small number of representatives.

In a bottom up consensus driven organization as ICANN, it seems that limiting 
such an important group will lessen the number of ideas as well as the depth of 
discussion around what future meetings look like.  Moreover, an exclusionary 
approach will undoubtedly minimize input of the most affected parties -- the 
attendees.  I think we can all agree that the growth from meetings of 500-600 
participants to those of upward of 1500 over the course of this past decade is 
something that merits serious discussion.  What I don't understand is why and 
who is limiting these discussions to such a small group of representatives.  
Working Groups are not limited, so why would this group be?

Perhaps the BC could hold some discussions on this topic across the CSG to 
maximize feedback to whomever the CSG's participants are?

Thank you to those members who have volunteered.  It would be good to have all 
of you in those discussions, in my view.

I welcome other member's thoughts on this.

Kind regards,

RA

Dear Benedetta,

Can you advise how much representation we have in this Working Group from the 
BC?  I am considering it, but don't need to jump in if the BC is already 
well-represented.

Thank you,

RA
