You mean this isn't just a status position? !!! :) Like I said in the poition statement I sent to the Council list before I was elected, I am ready to serve at Avri's and the Council's direction in whatever ways I can add value. There may be things that Avri would rather take the lead on and I am sure she will comment on the suggestions below.

Council, now that we have a vice chair should we formally agree an internal role for the position ? Chuck and Bruce started this discussion a little way back.
Allow me to restart based on Bruce's original. How do we and the chair and vice-chair feel about this ? Philip ---------------------------
Role of Vice-chair of the GNSO Council 1) Meetings - work with staff to schedule GNSO related meetings at each major ICANN meeting, as well as help plan any inter-sessional meetings.
(2) Operating planning - work with staff to develop the budget for GNSO related expenses to feed into ICANN's annual operational plan/budget e.g travel costs, as well as work with staff to plan for both staff and GNSO volunteer resources for various projects (task forces, working groups etc).
- identify projects that provide efficiency improvements (e.g website updates, new use of collaboration tools, document management systems etc.)
- work with staff to maintain a rolling 12 month operational/work plan and ensure we don't over commit projects to the available resources.
(3) Deputise for the chair when the chair is unavailable.
