Dear Chris

I have commenced a review of the elements at ICANN public meetings involving the Board, many of which are regarded as traditional. I think its appropriate to review whether they are now meeting current objectives, which include holding mutually beneficial meetings between the board and sections of the community, and in ways which reflect the diversity of the community and the nature and timing of critical issues. The board's goal is to be apprised of developments in each area, meet the people responsible, and for both groups to get a shared sense of priorities.

The regularly scheduled breakfast between the Board and the ccNSO council is such an event.

My sense from the agendas and attendances at the past few meetings is that this is no> longer regarded as such a significant event as it once was, and we should explore whether there might be a better way for the Board and the ccNSO community to interact.

I'd be grateful if you could raise this matter with the council and the community and seek views on the best ways for the Board to interact with the ccNSO and its leadership. If there is a sense that the breakfast has had its day, we can dispense with it and move to a new arrangement.

We are also looking at the ways the board interacts with the communities on Tuesday, when traditionally, the Chair and the CEO have visited the ccNSO and discussed issues of current concern. At the same time, other directors have been scheduled to sit in and observe the ccNSO meetings that day.

Your community's views on those mechanisms of exchange are also sought.

I look forward to working with you on ways of improving communications between the board and the ccNSO

Regards

Peter
