During a meeting with Kurt Pritz, V.President, ICANN with the GNSO and the GNSO Council, he announced that there is agreement to have short statements from the Chairs of the SOs/ACs and SGs at the beginning of the session on Monday that reviews the Board and GAC Scorecard Document [showing 1a, 1b, and 2]. I am going to convene a process to draft a statement from the BC [we don't have a CSG chair/and at this point, the position I have given to the chairs within the CSG is that we will each make a statement for our Constituency. I intend that we will have a statement, since we have a lot at risk to ensure that the input of the BC's Constituency members are reflected in the statement. Zahid and John are going to have a heavy work load on this -- they have Council to 'guide' [and have done a great job already on that in the discussions so far. ] I will be conferring with excomm on how to do a statement and clear it with you all/stay closely tuned.
