The Council discussed our meeting with the ICANN Board at our meeting today and felt that we could usefully discuss some or all of the following items: - TOPIC 1: UPDATE & DISCUSSION - Working with the ICANN GAC (Jonathan Robinson & Mason Cole) o The GAC / GNSO Consultation Group o Prospective processing of the Communique for policy issues o GAC Communique from LA dealing with two letter SLDs - TOPIC 2: DISCUSSION - ICANN Meetings & Board interaction & engagement with community (Jonathan Robinson & Heather Forest) o Board role in the community and interaction with the community at ICANN meetings o Board thoughts on the structure & effectiveness of community days i.e. Tuesday o New meeting strategy issues & concerns (especially in current Transition context) § Board plans within the new meeting strategy e.g. Meeting B o Council strategy and other sessions involvement of board members - TOPIC 3: BRIEF UPDATE AND/OR DISCUSSION - Other items o A CWG on use of ICANN Auction proceeds o Budget allocation to policy related activities (5%?) o Universal acceptance of new gTLDs o Further rounds of new gTLDs Any updates? o Adopting the final result of CCWG Accountability? I am sorry that we have not had the prior opportunity to discuss this interaction ahead of the meeting and hope that this will not impede our ability to have a productive interaction. Best wishes, Jonathan
