It depends on how long the call is, how urgently the transcript is required, the level of accuracy demanded (can one person review it or must it be cross-checked and reviewed by someone else?), whether it is done internally by an ICANN employee or outsourced to an agency or contractor, etc. In any case transcription is a cost of doing business and too important to brush aside because it has cost implications.

I did not advocate for anything that is inconsistent with the NCSG's values; call transcription is essential to holding ICANN accountable. So no, I do not think it was necessary for me to "share this with PC before sending to council list." That said I did forward my email to the PC ex post to keep those who are not on the drafting team informed as to what is happening.

Similarly, if other tools are used, they may be used only if they preserve information to a level that meets or exceeds eDiscovery standards in California, being the location of ICANN's headquarters.
