[NCSG-PC] Fw: Re: Sessions in Johannesburg?

Wed Apr 26 17:33:39 EEST 2017

Hi all,

I have not seen even titles or descriptions, let alone agendas
for the multitude of sessions proposed. I won't request meetings
for NCSG without without descriptive title and proper description.
I don't want to request meetings just as placeholders - every
meeting needs to have a definite purpose. Asking for too much
will make things difficult for schedule makers and they won't
reward us for that.

I don't really see the need for all that many meetings, but
I can make the requests *if* I get good titles and descriptions -
I won't make them up myself.

Note also that we may not get all we ask and may not get the specific
timeslots we ask for - sessions with flexibility in that regard are
more likely to be accepted.

Also, I'd rather not have any lunch meetings at all if it can be
helped.

I plan to request PC meeting with this kind of spec:

"NCSG Policy Committee meeting, 90 minutes, before Council meeting, no
overlap with any GNSO sessions or PDP WGs, if possible no overlap
with Cross-Community discussions."

I may not even bother suggesting any specific timeslot as it's
likely to be ignored anyway - if they can come up with any time
that fits those constraints it should be fine.

In addition I'll request NCSG EC and NCSG FC meetings (with
less restrictive overlap constraints).

For anything else I'll wait for titles & descriptions and
timeslot constraints. Remember, deadline is tonight.
