Stéphane, is it that we should talk just about structural (close to administrative) matters on this HL meeting, not policy related ones? I wonder whether other SOs/ACs will follow this way (ALAC?). I think it's crucial to prepare for this meeting in detail maybe integrating SG leaders as well. A list bof questions seems to be a good starter.

But any specific questions about the GAC meeting are best answered by the GAC themselves. Perhaps we can compile a list of our questions, should you and others have some, and then I can send them on to Heather to get answers?

The session planned with the leadership of the SOs and ACs is actually meant to help officials from governments that are not usual ICANN participants understand the way we work. So my previous request for topics for this session now appears moot. The kind of items we might want to discuss are linked to the makeup of the GNSO, what our body is and what it represents, the value of the model we operate in, how we interact and work with governments and their reps inside the GAC, an explanation of the major interest that make up the GNSO (companies, communities, etc...). The idea is for me to provide this kind of insight. The meeting itself will be open all day, but seating at the table will be limited to those invited to participate. My suggestion to Heather was to have the full GNSO leadership representing the Council, so me as Chair and your two VCs representing both houses. We can discuss and prepare for this session in more depth as we approach Toronto.
