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.

 

Chuck

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.


Best regards,
