    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Having been involved in an
      intersessional I found it personally useful. But in terms overall
      outcomes, and given the time and expenses involved, I too think
      they are not needed.<br>
      We could just as easily draft a focused online intersessional
      agenda and time frame, and achieve better results at lower costs
      and with wider participation. <br>
      <br>
      Lastly, I left the misspelling of intersessional in the Subject:
      line just to maintain the thread. <br>
      Intercessional is the wrong word here, it usually refers <span
        class="_Tgc">a prayer on behalf of someone else.<br>
        On second thought, on behalf of ICANN maybe it is the right word
