Summary
Board asked its Public Participation Committee to develop a plan for ensuring that all major meeting material be available at least two calendar weeks in advance of ICANN meetings, starting with Sydney.
Text
Whereas, the ICANN community has expressed concern at the late posting of materials prior to meetings, including some cases of documents being published during the meeting itself.
Whereas, meetings, discussions, workshops, etc. are most productive when participants have had sufficient time to review relevant material.
Whereas, the community feedback this week broadly supports the goal of having meeting material be available in advance of meetings, and specifically the GAC has requested the posting of materials at least fifteen working days in advance of each ICANN meeting.
Whereas, the PPC has been discussing the importance and benefits of making meeting materials available well in advance of meetings.
Whereas, it will take a strong commitment from the ICANN community, including ACs, SOs, WGs, and others, to achieve the goals of advance availability of meeting material.
It is resolved (2009.03.06.15), that the board requests that the PPC develop a plan for ensuring that all major meeting material be available at least two calendar weeks in advance of meetings, starting with Sydney.
