Stephane,
I have given some thought to how we might revise the items for our meeting with the ICANN Board. Here are four (4) items for your thoughtful consideration...
1. Recent decisions and actions -- thinking of the move to eliminate the public Board meeting on the Friday of the public meeting, the unanticipated costs of the URS and the technical glitches leading to the suspension of TAS and Digital Archery functions of the new gTLD program -- have triggered significant community discussion. How might ICANN's communication be improved by tighter coordination with the GNSO Council is light of the Council's role and reach into the community?
2. What decisions are being contemplated by the Board, perhaps further changes in the public meeting or new programs and budget allocations, where the GNSO Council can offer advance perspective?
3. Regarding the just established New gTLD Committee, the change in leadership of the program inside ICANN and what we know now about the size and scope of new domain name extensions, how will the energy of this specific program affect the organization, profile and approach of ICANN overall?
4. Conflicts of interest continue to be a persistent topic of conversation at ICANN. How have the changes in those policies over the last year affected the decision making capability of the Board?
