 experience.  Trust me, the CSG side will be VERY prepared and our NCSG Councilors should be similarly attuned to the games and state management we’ll encounter, so it’s important that we all be acclimated too.  In addition we can use the meeting to just get
 to know each other and conduct a little business, like approving appointees and starting a conversation about our agenda for the year.  Hopefully the wifi works in the breakfast room and we can bring Roy in that way, otherwise he can vote on our decisions

 F2F in Singapore, but for now:  historically, the EC’s have tended to work in an informal manner, with chairs circulating proposals or action items to the list and if nobody objects within a certain time frame they move forward with assumed consensus, or at
 least rough c, often without clearly documenting that xyz was decided on this date by these people etc.  Whether and how much to stick to or depart from this tradition was a subject of debate in the 2013 EC.  There was agreement that we could  improve the
 documentation of decisions, and some folks wanted to do this by having more meetings and even voting on some items.  But it also proved difficult to organize meetings sometimes, and many decisions were time pressured and needed action...Bottom line: I don’t
 like “silence is consensus” much, it doesn’t make for good governance or transparent decisions, so when one of us makes a proposal or a decision has to be taken, PLEASE try to respond either way within whatever time frame is suggested.  If it turns out this
 isn’t working and we have to get more formal about it and start scheduling regular meetings and even voting we can, but as everyone’s busy let’s try to make asynchronous, informal, but "all hands on deck” work, and let’s document better, whether we do it at
 each step along the way or accumulate decisions and do a monthly listing, etc.  </span></div>

 addition, Rafik's put stuff in the NCSG space.  Probably At Large makes the most use of it, as they have staff to do stuff; other sorts of initiatives also go to Confluence, like the preparation for the Sao Paulo IG meeting next April (we have a Cross Community

 you’ll need to work with the Confluence space, and can have a personal page where others in the community can find you, which we no longer have on our website since we gave up the Ning. So please contact our staff supporter Glen de Saint Géry <<a href="mailto:Glen@icann.org" class="" style="color:purple; text-decoration:underline">Glen@icann.org</a>>
