ICANN's board will meet tomorrow, with an agenda including substantial discussion of the GNSO Council Restructuring. If there are points to be added to that discussion, beyond those already raised regarding the importance of making room for Internet *users* on the Council (which I will re-emphasize), please let me know. Please also share any comments on other topics. I will bring the ALAC's concerns about the travel policy and support for RALO participants to the table, if that is desired. <http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/> 28 August 2008 Special Board Meeting Agenda [Agenda set by Executive Committee on 21 August 2008] Review Minutes from 31 July / 1 August Special Board Meeting President’s Monthly Report GNSO Council Restructuring Nominating Committee’s Recommendation for ICANN Bylaws Change regarding Criteria for Board Member Selection Redelegation of the .MS (Montserrat) Domain Ombudsman Budget Independent Reviews Status Report Board Finance Committee Report Board Governance Committee Report Board Governance Committee’s Recommendation for selection of the next Nominating Committee Chair Board’s Compensation Committee Report President’s Strategy Committee Report Other Business Board Executive Session -- Wendy Seltzer -- wendy@seltzer.org Visiting Professor, American University Washington College of Law Fellow, Berkman Center for Internet & Society http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/seltzer.html http://www.chillingeffects.org/ https://www.torproject.org/
