[PC-NCSG] NCSG-PC Work for 2015

Thu Jan 22 02:07:04 EET 2015

Hi Robin,

I responded to the question regarding planning previously: in paper is a
good idea , in practice it is hard. we are depending of GNSO WG (
http://gnso.icann.org/en/group-activities/calendar) and CCWG schedules and
they are not usually  set enough time in advance (CCWG added more
complexity with calls for sub-teams). I am not even talking about other
ICANN related stuff like webinars etc (or internet related events that
people may attend).

what we got is regularity : the monthly call every tuesday prior to GNSO
confcall. the only change is the time. we tried in last calls to change
time and ask people via doodle poll and I am fine with time rotations.

what I am thinking is that we can plan 4 to 3 weeks before the call to
avoid clashes with other WG calls, while it is straightforward to prepare
agenda for the policy call, the topic call needs more preparation and
speakers . we can set 3 or 4 topics for the next months and see how it
works.
we are trying already to get people aware by sending ics invitations and
reminders in due time

finally, are you ready for an accountability call and shall we do that
after Singapore meeting?
