CANCEL - Propose cancelling GNSO Council meeting on 8 June 2006

Hello All, I propose cancelling the scheduled GNSO Council meeting on 8 June 2006. We have had two conference calls this week to interview the Board candidates, and I am aware that constituencies have also been holding conference calls to interview the Board candidates. Next week there is a WHOIS task force as well as a PDP-Feb06 task force call. Given that there are no documents to review at this time or major decisions to be made, I see no reason to hold a full Council call on 8 June 2006. With respect to scheduling for the Morocco meetings - this will continue to happen in the background, and the staff will keep the Council informed as the schedule evolves. The GNSO Secretariat will continue to take any input from Council members. As the election process progresses I will look at scheduling a Council call to affirm any winning candidate, and we can cover off any other issues at that time. Regards, Bruce Tonkin

FW: Board seat

Fellow Councillors Most you know Alick Wilson from his time on the council. Although no longer a member of council Alick maintains a key interest and it appears timely to share his thoughts below, particularly with the demands and expectations of the GNSO increasing at a fast pace due to the heavy work program we are facing. Tony -----Original Message----- From: Alick Wilson [mailto:alick.wilson@xendra.co.nz] Sent: 01 June 2006 06:26 To: Marilyn Cade; Holmes,AR,Tony,CXM R Subject: Board seat As you know, while I am no longer a member of GNSO Council, I have an ongoing interest in GNSO and ICANN. As I told the LSE team at some length and with numerous examples, many of the things about GNSO that need fixing are beyond the authority of GNSO Council to fix; they require authority from the Board and/or action by the staff. I suggest that the candidates be asked their position on this and whether they intend to press for Board and staff action. I suggest that the GNSO Board appointee needs to be someone who has the commitment, drive and ability to influence change within ICANN, for the benefit of ICANN generally and specifically, to improve the way GNSO operates. I suggest candidates be asked about their commitment and ability to influence change, and what changes they think are required. Please feel free to post this to Council list. Cheers, Alick
