Hi Mohammed I got an email this morning that sent a proposed agenda, and asked for comments and edits, so obviously I didn’t think that this was an agenda fixed in stone. I previously had sent a detailed draft agenda (last week) and some items were included and some left out. Some of what I sent last week I have not suggested be re-integrated. I am not the only one who thinks that a more in-depth discussion with fewer topics is more useful. There is obviously a difference in what the meeting is seen as. Generally, the meetings with Board members are there for an in-depth 2 way dialog on issues that are 1) before the Board and we want to make our point before they meet, or 2) that are issues important to at large that have been ignored by the ICANN processes and we want to raise them with the Board as at a higher level, 3) strategic issues relating to the At Large and its position within ICANN. 4) to gauge the Board’s reaction to certain issues. The forum for updating the Board on what we’re up to has traditionally been the Public Forum statement. If we want to change the format, that’s fine, but it isn’t currently unanimous, as you can see from the discussions. Also, some of the issues that were proposed by the sub-committee have been dealt with, as 1) ALAC review – ICANN put out a statement recently on this, stating where we are in the process, what the Board has decided etc. 2) Domain tasting – is in a process that we asked for, and we have had recent updates on this. Those for sure would be a waste of time (IMO) to have Board members repeat the material that was recently published. 3) gTLD and GNSO – we have been asked for and have been developing written responses, so why discuss BEFORE we have sent those? We can say – yes, we are nearly ready to send the statement, and look out for it… but that’s what we should raise in the forum and workshop… Jacqueline From: Mohamed EL Bashir [mailto:admin@isoc.sd] Sent: Monday, October 29, 2007 18:03 To: jam@jacquelinemorris.com Cc: 'Bret Fausett'; 'At-Large Global List' Subject: Re: [At-Large] <IMPORTANT> Draft Plan for Tuesday's AtLarge communitymeeting with ICANN Board Hi Jaq. a group which is delegated by ALAC yesterday meeting which it had a meeting today to prepare for ALAC & ICANN Board meeting tomorrow, and they presented us with a proposal today "an early meeting". i see some major changes on the proposal "speakers" and items, for me i guess the earlier proposal is OK, regarding the time issue we can reduce the time to 5 mins for issues and proprietaries the issues . am sure at 7pm meeting we can agree on the issues and our prioritize our issues .

A significant portion of the meeting should be open for a more flexible discussion of the status and future of the ALAC. Bret agree with Siavash that we should include a visioning issue as well.
