Objet : DRAFT revised GNSO Council/Board agenda items
Date : 24 juin 2012 08:08:18 HAEC
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?
