[NCSG-PC] GNSO Council strategic planning session - first draft agenda for your input

[Ayden Férdeline]

An 8am start, 10pm finish - we are certainly squeezing a lot into each day. And yet it doesn't feel all that strategic a strategic planning session to me. We are spending an entire day on what are the roles and responsibilities of Councillors and Council leadership, but only three hours, on the last day, on "Planning 2018 - Three f2f meetings, 16 days, what do we want to achieve in the next 12 months?" That to me sounds like the most critical thing that we could work on. I think we need to spend less time waxing lyrically about the great work that we, leadership, and the liaisons do, and far more time actually planning the year ahead. As it stands, there is nothing on the agenda for day 2 which I think we need to discuss (even the Council meeting we could have a week earlier or later via Adobe Connect). What do others think?

Best wishes, Ayden
