[NCSG-PC] Side-meetings at ICANN 74

[Johan Helsingius]

Dear Bruna,

As a former GAC liaison, I think it is a good idea, and we should
definitely try. One challenge is that GAC doesn't really do "small"
(or "informal") apart from clearly defined and designated sub-teams
or representatives (such as "leadership" or "working group
representatives"). With enough lead time, they might be able to do
something like "a few members working on topic X", but in that case
they might not represent the GAC overall view.

We also have to remember that our best hope from small meetings with
them is to better understand their concerns, arguments and positions.
There is not much chance to actually influence them . that has to
happen through the GNSO council that needs to get better at pushing
back at GAC and the board.
