Thanks for some very good discussion on the role of the Council.

As a starting point for continuing that discussion on this list, these are the points we may wish to look at:

Should we have this session again at next ICANN meeting?
Does Council support the idea of the leaders talking to group chairs?
How to improve the communication between the groups - standing number for informal group calls.

All fine, but I'd add to this the question Tim and I were debating about how Council may deal with reports, and the broader question of Council freedom to deliberate and act. 

Thanks,

Stéphane
