Subject: Re: [At-Large] <IMPORTANT> Draft Plan for Tuesday's AtLargecommunitymeeting with ICANN Board

One background information, which I think may be usefule is, that
there was a suggestion yesterday for the meeting with the Borad members
to try to provide "advice" on policy issues since ALAC is essentialy
an "advisory" role to the Board so the sentiment there was, in my
interpretation, let us do the job - which does not mean that we don't have
any in-depth dialogue, but rather, that could be a part of the dialogue.

The difficulty we faced this morning was, it is not easy to come to a
consensus within a short morning meeting on which policy items
are more important than the others - so we kind of agreed to throw
all items seemingly important that time to the list and listen to the
members opinion, in the afternoon online, as well as in the evening
if time allows. SO this is not by any means imposing the agenda
or even ignoring the previous agenda suggestions, but a a work
in progress. If my initial message to the list gave a wrong impression,
sorry, but that was not the intention at all. AND, as I see it now,
I think we are doing exactly the kind of thing we anticipated earlier
in the morning. The only objective is to have a prodcutive meeting
with the board. We can think and discuss how best to achieve that
with all members ALAC with ALS and RALO.

thanks,

izumi
