All, As per Item 10 from our 5 September 2013 Council meeting and the actions arising, there is an opportunity to clarify where we are currently with respect to future engagement with the ICANN GAC and to set out possible next steps. We currently have two opportunities to pursue and develop as far as improved engagement with the GAC on GNSO Policy work is concerned as follows: 1. Establishing what we have started to refer to as a "Reverse Liaison" and 2. A detailed examination of existing points of engagement and seeking to be clear on where these are or are not adequate . I suggest that we pick them up as two independent (but obviously related) threads and seek to make progress. Clearly, both will need discussion with the GAC but I think it will be worthwhile to ensure we have some initial clarity first. I'll kick off both threads and welcome input and discussion as to how we move forwards. Thanks, Jonathan
