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.
