[board-09georegionswg] Meeting Report - Geo Regions Review Call (24 May 2012)

[Robert Hoggarth <robert.hoggarth@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Working Group Members;

Thanks to Dave and Cheryl for attending the Working Group call earlier today.  
Gisella has circulated a link to the recording  of the call 
(http://audio.icann.org/gnso/gnso-geo-regions-20120524-en.mp3) and you’ll hear 
that we made up for the limited attendance with a wide ranging discussion of 
the community’s input on the draft Final Report. A call transcript should also 
be posted soon.

The critical take-away from the meeting was the recommendation to proceed with 
modifications to the Final Report.  Dave and Cheryl discussed the idea of 
producing a brief survey to collect the thoughts of the Working Group to see if 
you could all reach a consensus on the general direction of how much to revise 
the draft Final Report recommendations.  It would be great to get your 
perspectives on that idea.

It was also agreed that we should try to schedule an informal Working Group 
gathering at the upcoming ICANN Public Meeting in Prague.

Over the next couple of weeks, Dave and I will collaborate on some materials 
that address the survey concept and potential ideas for modifications to the 
Final Report document.  After the Prague Public Meeting schedule gets released, 
I will prepare a Doodle Scheduling Poll to help you all identify some 
prospective times for an informal face-to-face Working Group meeting.

In the meantime, after you’ve had an opportunity to listen to the recording, 
please feel free to share any of your thoughts and impressions about the 
meeting discussion or community feedback on the list. Any input will be most 
welcomed.

Best regards,

Rob
