SV: [governance] space on Nov.11th

Tue Sep 25 03:27:13 EDT 2007

We should do this just after GIGANET, that is 5.00 p.m. Or did we schedule a GIGANET Business meeting? Than we could start 6.00 p.m.

Carlos/ Bill

Yes, we need to meet as IGC before IGF starts - for exchanging notes on IGF
participation and strategies, and also because IGC as mostly a virtual group
should have this annual meeting which is best done at the IGF meetings.

The issue is of the timing. Giganet will have many IGC members participating
in it. So we have to figure out how late in the afternoon/ evening we can
meet.

Bill, I know you have told me this before, but when does giganet end. 5 PM?

Those who are going to be at rio can give their views when it is best to
schedule the meeting on the 11th late afternoon/ evening.

I think there are two choices

1) to begin the meeting immediately after giganet - ie is 5 Pm I think, and
we can go upto 730 or so.

2) to begin it at 4 PM and then giganet participants join in.

The choice will depend on the numbers at giganet, and those not at giganet.

To me, immediately post giganet looks fine. And we can extract an assurance
from giganet that they will close right on time, keeping in mind the IGC
`meeting.

Carlos, thanks for booking the room, we will in any case need it. So, pl
keep the booking on.
