From: Jonathan Robinson [mailto:jonathan.robinson@ipracon.com] Sent: 21 March 2014 11:22 To: council@gnso.icann.org Subject: GNSO Council Meeting with ICANN Board All, I have spoken with Steve Crocker and out of that conversation, a proposed structure of our 90 minutes meeting with the board has emerged (see below). Note that there is specific scope for raising key questions / issues with the board and the structure anticipates some of these. I propose to deliver the GNSO Council update using a few slides if necessary. Any thoughts or comments on fleshing this out are welcome, particularly on "specific questions" and "current challenges / issues".
