Hello, I want to suggest that we discuss issues on "Evolving the ICANN Multistakeholder Model". There have been a lot of discussions recently around improving the multistakeholder model within ICANN and Seun raised a critical Issue on the multistakeholder model at the Kobe meeting. The board has also been looking at this issue, and I believe it significantly affects us as a community. We need to have a clear voice on areas in which we believe the model can be improved cos it seems a lot of our views are being lost in the process and a critical component of multistakeholder are trusting each other and reaching a consensus that everyone can live with. At the moment this seems not to be exactly the case. Therefore I suggest we need to articulate our points on this and put it before the board especially as the meeting is being held in Africa and are not going to have another meeting in Africa until after 2021 according to the schedule. I can be part of the drafting team Abdulkarim On Tue, May 14, 2019 at 11:10 PM Sarah Kiden <skiden@gmail.com> wrote:
