[PC-NCSG] Schedule Change for NCSG PC Meeting in Durban

[William Drake]

Hi

I just got off a long call with Glen about the schedule for Durban.  They moved the close generic workshop and we had to sort that out.  In addition, we discussed the scheduling of the NCSG PC meeting.  You will recall that CSG had proposed (if I recall correctly, Robin forwarded a message from Marilyn a month or two back) that the SGs have time on the weekend to meet in advance of CD, rather than having Council take up two full days.  When this came up, everyone on our side who responded expressed support for the idea.  NCSG PC meetings have conflicted with the opening ceremonies etc, which is a drag, so meeting Sunday instead would seem better for all.  Less time in Council for Councilors as well, maybe encouraging some efficiency there.

I gather Wolf Ulrich must have pursued this on the Council list, though I didn't see it, don't have time to read that often.  In any event, it was apparently agreed, and so Sunday the Council finishes 4pm and CSG meets privately 4-6:30pm.  So based on the views expressed previously on our side, I suggested that if that's happening we might as well do our thing at the same time.  So Glen has put in a request to move the NCSG PC meeting from 9:30-11:30 Monday to  4-6:30pm Sunday.

I hope this is ok with everyone.  If someone now doesn't like it anymore please say so and we can ask Glen to revert.

Also, I can't write to the NCSG EC list but maybe someone here can pass this along, that meeting is currently 10-12pm Thursday, but conflicts with both the GNSO wrap up session and the ATRT.  If the EC wanted to meet earlier than GNSO that'd be sensible one would think, but someone would need to talk to Glen about it.  Given absences, NPOC's election, etc. I don't know how this meeting will be planned and run but assume it's being worked out?

Best,

Bill
