The public IG session is a long time fixture on the meeting program and antedates the CCWIG which demanded to take it over from staff, and this is always additional to the working session. The only change last time was labeling the public session a HIT, which adds no particular value.

A HIT is only a one time session (which with a lot of good work of volunteers turned out to be great last meeting) and does not build up the ccwg ig. So I'm going to object and will inform ncsg about our future actions. I prefer to have a constructive working session. I see if I get support on that and revert to NCSG. </div><br><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 17 Dec 2016 05:15, "William Drake" <<a href="mailto:william.drake@uzh.ch">william.drake@uzh.ch</a>> wrote:<br type="attribution"><blockquote class="quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">I’m taking the liberty of forwarding a message Olivier sent to the CCW-IG, which is of relevance to prior discussions here of high interest topics etc.<div><br></div><div>Bill<br><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div>Begin forwarded message:</div><br class="m_-4407527154460698617Apple-interchange-newline"><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px"><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgba(0,0,0,1.0)"><b>From: </b></span><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif">Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond <<a href="mailto:ocl@gih.com" target="_blank">ocl@gih.com</a>><br></span></div><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px"><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgba(0,0,0,1.0)"><b>Subject: </b></span><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif"><b>[ccwg-internet-governance] ICANN58 Block Schedule and High Interest Topic</b><br></span></div><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px"><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgba(0,0,0,1.0)"><b>Date: </b></span><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif">December 17, 2016 at 10:42:53 GMT+1<br></span></div><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px"><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgba(0,0,0,1.0)"><b>To: </b></span><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif">"internet >> <a href="mailto:ccwg-internet-governance@icann.org" target="_blank">ccwg-internet-governance@<wbr>icann.org</a>" <<a href="mailto:ccwg-internet-governance@icann.org" target="_blank">ccwg-internet-governance@<wbr>icann.org</a>><br></span></div><div class="elided-text"><br><div>

You'll notice that our Internet Governance Public Session was the
least attended session of the High Interest Topics. That said, it
was late in the day, thus would have lost headcount. <br>
<br>
The deadline for Hit Interest Topic Session proposals is on Friday
23rd Dec 2016, so we need to file a request this week. Any
suggestions?<br>
<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
