Organisational Review reports published for public comments
by Gabriella Schittek Oct. 8, 2009

Oct. 8, 2009

Dear all, Three Organisational Review reports have just been published for public comments: * The NomCom review WG draft report (public comment box at http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/#nomcom-review-2009) - the report presents the draft conclusions of the WG and asks for specific inputs on the key issue of the size and composition of the Committee. Public comments sent during the first two weeks of the consultation will be particularly appreciated because the WG expects to progress significantly in Seoul towards the finalisation of the report. * The Board review WG draft final report (public comment box at http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/#board-review-2009) - the report has concluded on all issues remaining outstanding in Sydney, and will be finalised after this very last round of consultation with the community. * The SSAC review draft report (public comment box at http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/#ssac-review-2009) - the report presents the draft conclusions of the WG, and will be finalised after public comments. All three reports will also be presented in Seoul. Kind regards, Gabi

by Oscar A. Robles-Garay Oct. 5, 2009

Oct. 5, 2009

Gabi, Yes, that is my decision, I will not re-stand for election to the ccNSO council this time, so I will be leaving the Council after my term finishes. There is the interest of Rolando Toledo (.pe) to be involved in the Council so I decided to support him. Best regards, Oscar ________________________________ From: Gabriella Schittek [mailto:gabriella.schittek@icann.org] Sent: Monday, October 05, 2009 4:45 AM To: Oscar A.
