Dear All, GNSO Topics provided to the Board: · Specific discussions with the Board regarding the newly-estabilshed New gTLD Committee and how does it function. How can GNSO help / liaise with this committee and collaborate? · I agree with Thomas' suggestion on expansion of membership and think this could be listed as one of the topics with the Board. · discuss with the Board how ICANN's communication could be improved in the light of Fridays, URS and the TAS Glitch · "Our concerns center on transparency as well as effective communication. Do we want to ask them what else they are considering - whether in relation to changing formats or duration of ICANN meetings, or in holding different types of meetings (per the budget) - that the GNSO can provide input on?" Kind regards, Glen Glen de Saint Géry GNSO Secretariat gnso.secretariat@gnso.icann.org<mailto:gnso.secretariat@gnso.icann.org> http://gnso.icann.org
