Hi Chuck,
The main area of worry that I see remains the ever-delaying new gTLD
program.
Would it be appropriate to suggest a topic along those lines (perhaps
something like: "are delays to the new gTLD program hurting it and ICANN as a
whole", or something more neutral like "suggestions to solve remaining
overarching issues in 2010 and avoid further delays spilling into
2011")?
I realize some may not feel at ease being upfront about this. However, I
do think GNSO Principle A is getting more and more often overlooked as time
passes and that reminders that the GNSO's first focus was on the new gTLDs
being introduced in a "orderly, timely and
predictable way", the operative words here being timely and predictable,
are warranted.
I'm sure we all realise that
for prospective applicants, the current process is neither timely nor
predictable...
Thanks,
Stéphane

I don't believe that there were any responses to this
last week. It would be helpful to receive some suggestions before our
18 Feb meeting so that we can hopefully finallize the topics
then.

An agenda item
for the 18 Feb Council meeting will be to finalize discussion topics for
the Board/Staff/GNSO Dinner Meeting in Nairobi, In preparation for
that, I would like to request that Councilors propose topics this
week. Discussion of proposed topics is also
encouraged on the list.
Chuck
