View source for Meeting Strategy Working Group

The '''Meeting Strategy Working Group (MSWG)''' was formed in 2013 to discuss and propose a strategy for future [[ICANN Meetings]] beginning in 2015. 

In February 2014 the MSWG posted a draft document for public comment that outlined it's recommendations. The proposed strategy would keep the current regional rotation of the meetings, but change the length of the meetings. 

* The first meeting each year would be 6-7 days, which as of 2014 was the current length of all ICANN meetings. 
* The second meeting of the year would be shorter in duration (3-4 days) and would focus on [[SO]] and [[AC]] work. This second meeting would attempt to be hosted by venues that could not support the larger meetings. 
* The third meeting of the year would be the longest and largest (8-9 days) and would include the [[AGM]] and Public Board meetings.
* The group proposed a change to the [[Public Forum]], which is currently held at the end of each Meeting, where a 90-minute forum would be held at the beginning of the meeting, and a 120-minute forum would occur at the end of the meeting. Additionally, the Public forum would only occur at the 1st and 3rd meetings of each year.<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/participation/mswg/recommendations-25feb14-en.pdf Recommendations 25 Feb 2014, ICANN.org] Retrieved 25 Feb 2014</ref>
