[At-Large] RES: Public Board Meeting - the Update for Prague

[Vanda UOL]

 + 1 ( reading reports at stage  takes time should be used to answer
questions) -  But let´s remember , to read previously the reports, those
shall not consider the F2F meeting activities ( or people would have only
Thursday night to do so) Hence,  asking question  is the most interesting
way to get knowledge about  what is really going on with other groups
(nobody has enough time to follow all groups)
 Resuming:  the general reports  previously sent  will give you a good
feeling about the 3 months activities from each group + question F at F will
give you what was up dated in the meeting if you want to know about
specifics issues. It is practical, saving community time - after all, that
is the reason meetings  exist.
 Best to all

 Olivier,Just a clarification.I wrote that the reports could be distributed
beforehand and discussed (if there are any questions) back to back to the
Public Forum: I maintain that this can be done without harm. The
discussion/vote on substantial matters is a completely different story. I am
with you in defending the lively debate that is going on at meetings, and I
agree that the new format must make it possible for the Board to make a
decision taking full consideration of the debate.This is an essential part
of the ICANN process, and for this reason I disagree with Karl when he
regards the way ICANN meeting are conducted (face-to-face rotating in
different parts of the worrld) as useless. Quite the contrary, I believe
that we should move towards having more interaction with the internet
community worldwide, and to give more the opportunity to the Board to take
decisions after having carefully taken into account the debate.Cheers,R. >
