I agree with Leigh on the inclusion of SSR. Also, the Affirmation of Commitments is important to WITSA and TechAmerica. Both of us put a lot of time into trying to protect ICANN and they don't work very well with the GAC, regardless of the topic. The meeting in Brussels seems to be a start on an improving relationship. With the risks externally, we should keep the AoC on the discussion list, as well as SSR and new gTLDs. That would be three topics, as you requested. WITSA's Jimson Olufuye was with Marilyn Cade and Theresa Swinehart at the recent CSTD Working Group on the improvements to the IGF. Maybe the idea of working more constructively with us, and others would be a good topic for the business community and the Board discussion. There are a lot of BC members who are involved in the IGF who will be in San Francisco.

I don't think it needs to take a huge slice of time in this slot, but I do believe it should be on the agenda.
