[PC-NCSG] ICANN 53 Constituency Day - Seeking Feedback for ICANN board

[Sam Lanfranco]

We have been discussing this in NPOC and my position on this is that the 
alcohol fueled receptions (large or small) are inferior to roundtable 
discussions face-to-face with two or three Board Members. As for the 
whole board session, that has the look and feel of a dog-and-pony show 
where everything is pro forma and there is no real dialogue, no matter 
how good is the question or comment.

I would prefer the 2-3 Board member face-to-face meetings, and reserve a 
cocktail party for the end-of-meetings ramp down.
