[governance] IGC members meeting in Geneva

[Parminder]

Yes, I agree that pre-consultation morning meeting is difficult with all the
time needed to be spent at the security office. But lets do a bit of
'cluster together' before the meeting, while meeting other people we may be
meeting. A quick discussion about the day, and stuff. We can have a longer
meeting as you suggest at lunch time. Parminder

Parminder,

I meant to ask about whether we are doing a meeting and if locals should
secure a room during the lunch hour, but amidst all the ontological debates
forgot, sorry.  

I wouldn't count on a 9am meeting working too well.  Unless everyone commits
to getting up rather early to be first in line, most people will be standing
outside the security office waiting to get badges, will show up late at
varying times, etc.  People could just cluster outside the meeting room door
when they arrive for some brief coordination re: the consultation itself, if
needed.  But if we want to have a broader discussion about caucus affairs
that won't work then.

Probably too late now, but if there's critical mass Philippe or I could at
least inquire about a lunchtime meeting room.  It is also often possible to
simply squat in one of the smaller meeting rooms on the first floor since
governments don't do working lunches in these parts, but if some overly
rule-oriented guard notices we might have to evacuate to the lounge etc.  Or
we could just grab a table at the back of the cafeteria, usually possible.
Don't know how many people are coming, whether that'd work logistically,
acoustically...

BTW on caucus interventions, it might be sensible aesthetically to have
someone else (not me) read at least one of the three statements, no?  Or do
we want to look like CS is top down, centralized, blah blah blah...

Best,

Bill

Can all those from the IGC who are traveling to Geneva for IGF consultations
meet briefly before the consultations start at 10. May be at 9. Any
suggestions for a meeting place.  Parminder
