the new meeting strategy didn’t start yet: the first experience is Marrakech, and I don’t find meeting A too different from meetings of the « old » strategy. So, we will spend time assessing and reviewing when we will make a full cycle (Meetings A, B, and C).
The importance of the multi-year planning for summits and GAs made me propose to remove the second sub-bullet point. I think that raising the special request one will dilute the subject and reduce the value of the first sub-bullet point. Also, we have a year before the next « special » request, so it is not urgent.

I also suggest to define a time division for the remaining points. I propose:

feedback on the final report of the CCWG on Accountability

Sensitive New gTLDs - GAC Category 1, Safeguards 1-8

Budget issues: Multi-year GA and Summit planning

Consumer Trust

Diversity is considered to be a challenge in ICANN. How is your SO/AC doing with regard to enhancing diversity in all its dimensions? What can ICANN do to support that effort?

What is your feedback on the final report of the CCWG on Accountability?

The topics that we supplied to them were:

CCWG Accountability - if necessary based on status at the time of the Board-ALAC meeting
Sensitive New gTLDs - GAC Category 1, Safeguards 1-8
Budget issues:

Multi-year GA and Summit planning
Annual "special" requests we should not have to make

New Meeting Strategy - issues and suggestions
Consumer Trust

The 2nd sub-bullet on budgets is a combination of the special request we made to bypass ICANN bureaucracy (not being able to use approved budget flexibly and having to beg to have adequate translation tools) and the issue of having to make a "special" request to train leaders and have them work effectively.

The Board has, for the first time in several years, raised issues for our input.

Diversity is considered to be a challenge in ICANN. How is your SO/AC doing with regard to enhancing diversity in all its dimensions? What can ICANN do to support that effort?
What is your feedback on the final report of the CCWG on Accountability?

Clearly the 2nd one overlaps with our first bullet.

We will spend some time on the weekend discussing how we will address these issues.
