We have been asked to provide the GNSO Council's topics as soon as possible. Suggestions for topics from the Board: · The Council's view on the JAS report. · Update on WHOIS work and likely timeframes for any policy development · Update on discussions to define consumer trust and what is within scope for ICANN to improve. · Consequences of the New gTLDs program on the GNSO organization? · What qualities do you think we ought to be seeking in a new CEO? what are your criteria for openness, transparency, etc. in the hiring process, bearing in mind considerations of responsibility to candidates and community, privacy, Board confidence, etc. · - as we work to develop ethics guidelines, what are your top 3 concerns and proposals to address them ( within the confines of the multistakeholder, voluntary participation model)? Thank you. Kind regards, Glen Glen de Saint Géry GNSO Secretariat gnso.secretariat@gnso.icann.org<mailto:gnso.secretariat@gnso.icann.org> http://gnso.icann.org
