[NCSG-PC] Intersessional

I think it is important to remember that the Intersessional is currently a part of the core budget; if we reject the opportunity now, there is no guarantees that the line item will return in the budget for FY20. I think it would be something ICANN org would seek to cut out, reasoning, if we did not need it in FY19, why would we need it in FY20? I think it would be very regrettable if this happened.

Best wishes, Ayden

>> NCPH is being asked again by Mary to hold intersessional in 2019 or not. BC already has said no and hold it in 2020, the CSG EC and others have not responded. There was some decision from NCUC EC not to have it in 2019 but hold it in (2020) but that is because I had the impression that this issue was resolved and this was also NCSG decision but seems like Arsene, Ayden and Stephanie are in favor of holding it in 2019 as well (all happened on the NCUC mailing list).

>> You need to have a discussion here, perhaps on NCSG mailing list and tell Mary the decision. We can just say we are undecided. I cannot hold off the decision until Stephanie becomes chair because Mary needs to know now. I suggest you also tell NPOC and NCUC that you are revisiting the issue to see if they change their mind.

>> Since I think it was implied that I should not decide since I am outgoing (despite having discussed this in Feb and there were no comments on it), I have decided not to engage with this discussion and leave it to you.

>> Just let me know. If I don't hear anything or there is no decision by Wednesday next week I will let Mary know that NCSG is undecided.
