I thought that we had discussed this to death and agreed that tools that come with professional support are needed to support ICANN's work -- whether it is the Board, the GNSO, or any other 'organ'. The level of work demand that everyone experiences really deserves professional support tools, and professional resources. I am reviewing the StratPlan and the Operational Plan as part of my responsibilities/commitment to do, and I see that there are commitments in both. Perhaps what is needed is just the will and time for the President and CEO to assign staff to make 'this' happen. -----Original Message----- From: owner-council@gnso.icann.org [mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org] On Behalf Of Ross Rader Sent: Friday, December 08, 2006 8:40 AM To: Edmon Chung Cc: Council GNSO Subject: Re: [council] collaborative tools Earlier this year we actually went so far as to set up some a virtual workspace for council, but I wasn't able to put the ball across the line due to work constraints.

hi,
Annette just mentioned the help that ALAC got from ICANNWIKI is setting up collaborative online tools. I attended some of the sessions where they helped set this up and was impressed with ICANNWIKI's level of support and the level of patience they showed in customizing and explanations.
Perhaps we can consider talking to them about getting advice and assistance in setting up collaborative work environment to use in one of our future pdp processes, working group projects or some other project.
