<p>Dear All</p>
<p>I wish we would spend as much time and energy on IG policy making
topics as we spend time on the merits of various places around the
world to host an ICANN Intersessional meeting. Can we talk about
what we need to discuss t the meeting, the goals we want to
achieve and how to get there. When we do this, the place might not
be of such an importance.</p>
<p>Yours</p>
<p>Klaus</p>
<p>PS: Kuawi, Hawaii. Definitely!<br>
</p>
<p><br>

I don't think it was clear at all that some locations were said
"almost in jest". What was made clear, however, on <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://community.icann.org/display/ncph/Planning+-+Intersessional+2017%3A+Call+details%2C+recordings%2C+transcripts?preview=/63144502/63150133/transcript_ncphpc_291116.pdf" title="https://community.icann.org/display/ncph/Planning+-+Intersessional+2017%3A+Call+details%2C+recordings%2C+transcripts?preview=/63144502/63150133/transcript_ncphpc_291116.pdf" rel="nofollow">page 14</a> of the transcript, was the
instruction to, "Please type [locations] into the chat. No
tongue in cheek suggestions, please, because we can’t see or
hear your tone when you're typing that in." If that instruction
was ignored and our representatives on the call did instead
suggest cities not well suited to hosting a meeting such as this
one, I'm not sure who they thought they were serving.</div>

<div>In response to who made the suggestions for a location for
the CGPH <br>
</div>
<div> Intersession, a review of the session Chat transcript<br>
</div>
<div> makes it clear that the names were tossed out at the last
minute, and <br>
</div>
<div> some serious and some almost in jest.<br>
</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> One gets a sense from the overall records of the meeting,
that Reykjavik <br>
</div>
<div> remains a front runner.<br>
</div>
<div> The decision is supposed to be out on Friday, Dec 2nd.<br>
</div>
