I second Tim's suggestion, especially as it's unlikely that many of us will have had a chance to discuss this with the Board and staff prior to Seoul, and it's a topic that's pretty critical to most of our constituents.

Board-GNSO-Staff Diner topic
What about the new agreement/arrangement that is rumored to follow the expiration of the JPA? Seems we should have more details on that by Seoul, and likely a lot of questions. Tim -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [council] Topic for next Agenda was Re: [] Incoming Council members From: Avri Doria <avri@acm.org> Date: Tue, September 29, 2009 12:28 pm To: Council GNSO <council@gnso.icann.org> Hi, In terms of that agenda, I currently see two dominant issues: 1. Discussion of the contents of the yet to be approved letter form the Board to the GNSO asking for the GNSO to do some work related to the DAG and the IRT recommendations. 2. Any issues that still need to be dealt with in terms of completing the transition/restructuring. E.g. the assignment of NCAs to houses if that has not been completed yet (completion date is listed as 7 Oct) or any other issue that is pending. The agenda will come out this Thursday. If anyone on the council has any issues they think also need to be covered, please let me know. Also in terms of the Board-GNSO-Staff Diner topic - I am thinking that the contents of the yet to be seen letter might be just the thing. Does this sound reasonable? Any other suggestions? I am also thinking that this letter should be on the Wednesday Public Meeting agenda. thanks a. On 29 Sep 2009, at 12:46, Gomes, Chuck wrote:
I am anticipating that our agenda may be shorter than usual so I think that it would be good if we have an agenda item at the beginning to welcome the new Councilors and an agenda item at the end allowing them to ask questions if they have any and if time permits. Other than that it is probably best that the new Councilors are there as observers unless there is a discussion topic
that specifically involves them.

Hi,
Sorry if i was unclear. i was suggesting that they be there as observers. But I was not explicit in the part I wrote for that message, only in the part I included from a previous message.
BTW, 'as observers' normally means, in a GNSO context, that they can participate just not vote or make motions.

I object to them joining as Councillors.
They should be there as observers only.

I should mention that Andrey has been added to this list (as
newly appointed/elected council members will be), and I welcome him. Of course the incoming council members are observers on the list until 28 October. In keep with our normal
all processes, I invite
the new council members to participate on the list as fully as they feel ready to with voting and the making of motions being the only exceptions.
I would like to suggest that incoming council members also be invited to join the next Council call on on 8 October.
Since this is not part of the normal process, I want to confirm that there are no objections.
thanks
