Thanks Jonathan and Jeff, For our meeting with the Board, NCSG agrees that multistakholder engagement should be top of the agenda (we noted the issue as Bottom-up multi-stakeholderism versus ICANN unilateralism). In addition, we'd suggest consideration of Definition of the "public interest" at ICANN; ICANN engagement & outreach plans; and possibly New constituencies.

Thanks Jeff. I agree and think it may even be necessary to go back to first principles on the function and role of the GNSO Council within the GNSO and in the context of the overall multi-stakeholder model.

With the Board, I think it is imperative that we talk about our views on the multi-stakeholder process and the recent measures we have seen that we believe erode away at that model.

All,
We are on track with a team to work with peers in the ccNSO in order to develop the proposed topics for our meeting with the ccNSO.
As far as our prospective meeting with the GAC Is concerned, that is still work in progress, so for now that leaves meeting with the ICANN Board and the CEO.
Typically in the past, these meetings have consisted of our topics / their topics and my sense is that we have, at least at times, talked past one another.
However, it is clearly still very useful to have a view on key areas we like to see covered in our interaction with the CEO and the board and to do the preparatory work on these.
With the above in mind, I'd welcome input that proposes topics for either or both of these interactions.
Once we settle on the topics (I have contacted both the board and the CEO in order to collaborate on these) we'll likely need volunteers to develop the topics and potentially lead the discussions.
Therefore, please can you propose one or more topics for either or both sessions (with CEO and Board) as soon as possible.
Thank-you.
Jonathan
