Mike, I am surprised that you have overlooked the fact that all members can attend - either physically or remotely - particularly as I noted that in my last post. While I encourage onlist discussion and debate, as you suggest, I do look forward to the October 12th gathering to get the charter right for the constituency and the larger CSG, among the many other activities that are planned. Will you be attending in person or remotely? Kind regards, RA ________________________________________ Ron Andruff RNA Partners, Inc. randruff@rnapartners.com www.rnapartners.com -----Original Message----- From: "Mike Rodenbaugh" <icann@rodenbaugh.com> Sender: owner-bc-gnso@icann.org Date: Thu, 23 Sep 2010 11:23:06 To: 'bc - GNSO list'<bc-gnso@icann.org> Reply-To: <icann@rodenbaugh.com> Subject: RE: [bc-gnso] CSG charter and knock-on effects to BC charter Thanks Chris. Since most members won’t be able to attend in DC, and maybe a few are still on the fence, could you share some of the proposed changes you are talking about. And why they ought to be discussed face to face among a relative few, rather than in writing among all? We managed to completely reformulate the charter without benefit of any special in-person meetings, so I have trouble understanding how revisions as to ‘little details’ would require the extra commitment. Other than small details, are there any significant changes that you, or anyone else, think ought to be made? Proposals for significant change ought to be understood and debated by all members, not just the few who can attend an in-person meeting.

These are details that looked fine to me when I revised and voted for the present version, but as you expect it is quite different when you actually have to start working with it . I look forward to the opportunity to input some of these details at the forthcoming meeting in DC. Regards, Chris Chaplow Managing Director Andalucía.com S.L. Avenida del Carmen 9 Ed.
