Re: [icann-eu] Re: keynote invitation: Andy

Thomas' suggestion is a good one - a publicly accessible diary would be very
welcome.  It would also, as he says, improve two-way feedback between ICANN
and the world, thus promoting more and better-targetted input by the public.


Perhaps it could have a slightly higher level of detail than Karl Auerbach's
diary, to include not only major decisions made, but general ICANN-related activities
whether or not they resulted in decisions.

For instance:
"30/2/2001 - Met Carl Bildt to discuss forthcoming study."

This way there would not be the large gaps between one entry and the next that
Auerbach's diary has.
