Hello everyone, I hope you've returned home happy and healthy after our time in LA. We're behind in communicating our questions/topics to the Board for discussion in San Juan. As yet we've had no suggestions. Here are three possibilities to seed the discussion: - SSR2 - the Board has stated on various recent occasions that it has 'learned lessons' from its handling of the SSR2-RT pause. What specific lessons have been learned and how will these affect future Board action? - Goals - The Board has asked the various community groups to identify their most relevant longer-term goals. What are the Board's longer-term goals, in view of budgetary and market trends? - The GNSO Council devoted time in January to strategic planning for the year ahead. Taking into account a continuously high volume of work and the FY19 budgetary pressures, we see the need for and benefit of prioritisation. Considering the many activities currently underway in ICANN, which do the Board consider to be top priority? What milestones or achievements is the Board hoping to reach by the end of 2018? Best wishes, Heather On Wed, Feb 7, 2018 at 7:56 AM, Marika Konings <marika.konings@icann.org> wrote:
Reminder – the GNSO Council leadership team is expected to submit to the ICANN Board proposed topics for the joint meeting at ICANN61. If you have any proposed topics, please share these with the list as soon as possible. Topics are expected to be submitted by 12 February at the latest. The Board has suggested the following two topics for its meeting with the GNSO Council:
- *What are your key goals in 2018? * The Board is interested in this question to make sure that its own priorities are aligned with the community’s priorities. - *What are your most relevant longer-term goals?* The Board is interested in this question because discussions about longer-term goals and strategic planning will commence soon between the community, the Board and ICANN org.
Best regards,
Marika
