RE: [gnso-vi-feb10] Private GNSO Council meeting with Board on VI

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ron,

 

If the co-chairs would like me to answer these questions, I would be
happy to do so for the entire WG but I think that would be much easier
to do in person, possibly at your in-person meeting which I think is
being held on Thursday.  The reason I suggest that is because I suspect
that my answers to your questions will generate other questions and so
on and because there were a lot of factors involved.

Thank you for letting us know, Chuck.  Two questions: 

 

1.      On what basis did you call a meeting with the board on a topic
that has been delegated to a WG?
2.      Why were the co-chairs of the WG not invited?

 

I'm not trying to take this WG off on a tangent for but, for many of us,
this meeting does appear highly unusual and somewhat discomfiting.

 

Thanks,

 

RA

Agreed, Jeff.  It is completely inappropriate for the Council to meet
with the Board on a topic that has been given to a Working Group to
determine.  I would also be interested in knowing who called this
meeting as well.

I understand that yesterday a "private" meeting was called between the
GNSO Council and Board members on Vertical Integration.  Can a councilor
please (1) explain to us why this meeting was called with the Council as
opposed to the VI Group and (2) document for the record what was
discussed and/or decided.

 

I plan on addressing this separately, but I am not sure that these types
of meetings should occur especially when the issue is under the
jurisdiction of the Working Group NOT the Council.  This is contrary to
the bottom up process.
