Hello All, In December 2004, an independent review was published on the GNSO Council. This review contained several recommendations for improvements. One of the tasks in Luxembourg is to review these recommendations and check our progress against these recommendations. To improve our reporting to the wider community, I recommend that the GNSO produce an annual report in time for the ICANN Annual meeting (in Vancouver in Dec this year). This annual report should contain: - information on activities and achievements for the past year with respect to policy - information on process improvements undertaken since the review - reports from each of the constituencies of the GNSO The GNSO Council will be reviewed every 3 years, and a series of annual reports will assist in the review process. I would also like to see ICANN as a whole organisation produce an annual report, which would report on the performance of ICANN against its operating plan and strategic plan. Regards, Bruce Tonkin
