Hi Rafik,
The URS is not consensus policy yet is being applied as such via contact. It would appear to me that the only way to tackle this problem would be to request an issues report on the URS use and hopefully have it rejected for use in legacy pdp's. If we ignore this issue and allow ICANN to continue to create de facto consensus policies by contract the role and position of the GNSO as the creator of consensus policies will be severely damaged.
I would appreciate thoughts of others of ways to turn back this staff encroachment on fundamental rights of the GNSO. We could go the Reconsideration / CEP/ IRP route, perhaps in association with others, but until that last costly option I'm not sure we would have a chance of success. An Ombudsman's complaint is also something we could consider.
Thoughts?

With the fall meeting in Puerto Rico that means our Meetings for next year will be held in two locations 1,100 miles from each other. London and Dublin, the sites for the next and last European meetings, are about 290 miles from each other. That is more diverse than our last two Latin American meetings prior to Panama City, both of which were held in Buenos Aires. To the extent ICANN's Meeting strategy is part of ICANN's global outreach strategy I would suggest it needs some work.

>>> well you can 2 times for Singapore. the last Asian city , which is not Singapore, was Beijing in 2013 . in fact it sounds with the meetings requirements, it become more harder different hosts. again wondering how it will be the new meeting format starting in 2016.

>> We need to ascertain what is going on here. It can't be exclusively cost; London and Dublin are expensive cities. I'll try to talk to Meetings staff in Dublin and see if I can get some background to share with everyone. The meetings are large but they are not the largest and other groups manage to find diverse locations. I was actually in favor of the Hub city strategy but if we are using the meetings, as argued, as part of the global outreach initiative...well, it's a big globe.
