With the Board, I think it is imperative that we talk about our views on the multi-stakeholder process and the recent measures we have seen that we believe erode away at that model. Jeffrey J. Neuman Neustar, Inc. / Vice President, Business Affairs From: owner-council@gnso.icann.org [mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org] On Behalf Of Jonathan Robinson Sent: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 2:48 PM To: council@gnso.icann.org Subject: [council] Agenda for GNSO Council Meetings in Beijing All, We are on track with a team to work with peers in the ccNSO in order to develop the proposed topics for our meeting with the ccNSO. As far as our prospective meeting with the GAC Is concerned, that is still work in progress, so for now that leaves meeting with the ICANN Board and the CEO. Typically in the past, these meetings have consisted of our topics / their topics and my sense is that we have, at least at times, talked past one another. However, it is clearly still very useful to have a view on key areas we like to see covered in our interaction with the CEO and the board and to do the preparatory work on these. With the above in mind, I'd welcome input that proposes topics for either or both of these interactions. Once we settle on the topics (I have contacted both the board and the CEO in order to collaborate on these) we'll likely need volunteers to develop the topics and potentially lead the discussions. Therefore, please can you propose one or more topics for either or both sessions (with CEO and Board) as soon as possible. Thank-you. Jonathan
