<div dir="ltr">After reading the various exchanges it sounds like we could be more effective using strategies other than the intersessional so we should use 2019 to regroup, make sure we are better prepared for dialogue and negotiation with key stakeholders. Therefore I would support 2020 for the next intersessional. Also we should have some clear policy outcomes going in to the next intersessional.<div>best regards</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Aug 31, 2018 at 6:16 AM, Tatiana Tropina <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tatiana.tropina@gmail.com" target="_blank">tatiana.tropina@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">All,<div>I am with Rafik here. I don't support having intersessional in 2019. While I agree that they were a bit better in 2018, I still think it "mountain gave birth to a mouse" situation in both 2018 and 2019, taking into account how much time and effort it takes to prepare them and what kind of poor outcome, or lack thereof, we have. I do believe that it's easier to negotiate with CGS during ICANN meetings -- this is where we got the things done (things that were supposed to get done at the intersessional). So I would strongly object to submission the decision about holding intersessional in 2019 as NCSG PC. </div><div>Also, agree with Rafik that Farzaneh should stay in deliberations as the chair term is still not over -- but of course we can't force her to do so. </div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Tanya </div></div><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Fri, 31 Aug 2018 at 07:18, Rafik Dammak <<a href="mailto:rafik.dammak@gmail.com" target="_blank">rafik.dammak@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>Thanks, Farzaneh.</div><div>I expressed my opinion before as we should hold the intersessional in 2020 if we want really to change it.

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). </div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">You need to have a discussion here, perhaps on NCSG mailing list and tell Mary the decision.
