[Internal-cg] Sessions during ICANN53

[Manal Ismail]

Many thanks Patrik and colleagues ..

I see the different points of view but I feel obliged to speak for the meeting as I believe it was my idea :) !!
Here is what I shared earlier in response to an email from Alissa regarding the agenda of our call on Feb 25th ..  

"(5) Next Face-to-Face Meeting in Buenos Aires
[MI]: If time allows, I suggest adding this as an agenda item to agree whether the meeting will be before or after the ICANN week .. I recall this was discussed in Singapore but not concluded .. If no further discussion is needed maybe a Doodle poll will serve the purpose .. and if time doesn't allow we can definitely discuss online .. The reason I brought this up is that the hotels are already announced and it will be good to know early on the dates of any additional days .. 

As I will not be on the call, I'll share my opinion here .. If I recall correctly, we've met 'after' in Istanbul (and LA?) and 'before' in Singapore .. I think meeting before was useful in aligning views, making sure everyone is on the same page, agreeing on messages that need to be conveyed, etc . .. Having said that, and if ICG members' flights allow, a couple of hours to wrap up, at the end, after the public forum, may also be useful .."

Hope you find this useful .. 

Kind Regards
--Manal

And, I also see the benefit of holding another meeting on site at the end of the ICANN week *IF* some ICG members would have the opportunity to meet face-to-face with members of the CWG Names and/or CCWG Accountability WG simply in order to advance our understanding of the progress made/remaining issues.  No decisions would be taken (as Patrik already said), and of course the meeting would be recorded, translated and transcribed.   Will the results of the legal study be done/available by the time of the meeting, as this would likely benefit from additional discussion as well.
