Dear Council Members: I share your concern about the lack of proper communication. I have tried to take positive steps in the right direction by posting timely updates about the scheduling of ICANN Board meetings and resolutions as well as other key ICANN document postings. By the way, for those interested, the .NET agreement is now available online at http://www.icann.org/tlds/agreements/net. I also think the new format of the Board/Council breakfast will also yield increased positive results. Notwithstanding these positive steps I believe there is a significant communication disconnect between the stakeholders and the ICANN Board/staff. I am open to any suggestions that the council may have to improve these lines of communication. However, I believe that Marilyn is on to something with her last email. The Strategic and Operational Planning process is probably the MOST vital mechanism in which stakeholders can have a voice in the future of ICANN. For it is this mechanism that future evolutions of ICANN, 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 will occur. As always I am open to your suggestions. Best regards, Michael D.

So, how do we start this?
I personally don't see sufficient formal lines of communication or process in place to facilitate the level of communication that the community and stakeholders desire. These must be built in order to facilitate the relationships - I'm not sure that it works the other way around. - -- Regards, -rwr "Every contrivance of man, every tool, every instrument, every utensil, every article designed for use, of each and every kind, evolved from very simple beginnings." - Robert Collier Got Blog? http://www.blogware.com My Blogware: http://www.byte.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3-nr1 (Windows XP) iD8DBQFCyUyo6sL06XjirooRAm5oAJsF3i13Zt7DT3RYo54ChZA3X8dQnQCffAjX 4IHvB/v4M60NXV3Wj63M4p0= =r5RJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
