[NCUC-EC] notes on the preparatory meeting for NCPH intersessional 2017

[Rafik Dammak]

Hi Farzaneh,

Thanks for the detailed report and attending the planning call. I will
attend the next but as requested, we need additional person to participate.
while first items are about location and dates, we should discuss what we
want as outcomes from the meeting and what we would like to discuss there
to make it meaningful. It is an opportunity to be bring new ideas and
change the format of the meeting

as you could see there is also a discussion in NCUC list regarding the
intersessional.

looking for your feedback and comments here, in how we should proceed

Best,

Rafik

> Some suggested some city in Iceland ( please forgive me I will never ever

> (Singapore) didn’t receive support(they said too expensive and far. but
> Iceland is also too expensive and far to some people) . Rob mentioned
> Istanbul so that might also be possible to discuss.

> *Date:* February is being discussed as an option, kind of not challenged
> much by the group. But I don’t think it makes sense to meet in Feb and then
> meet for ICANN in March in Copenhagen.
