I share Chuck's concerns. Seems like in attempting to find the least potentially controversial topic possible, the final result is a discussion around a topic that's already history. I'm sorry, but I am starting to think more and more that it may be time to dare ask ourselves if these ACSO sessions should be continued. Sometimes within this community that is Icann, we find it hard to say "this is actually not such a good idea" when we embark on a new initiative such as this...

Thanks Avri. It is not clear to me what would be discussed with regard to IDN ccTLDs. I assume the focus would be on the fast track but, with the exception of a few remaining technical issues, most of the topics have been beaten to death already with little impact from what the GNSO said (e.g., contracts, fees, etc.). Would this be simply a rehashing of old issues that would have no impact in terms of Board action in Seoul? What would be the objectives of the session?

Hi,
The conversation has continued and the following suggestions is on the table:
It is suggested that we run our ACSO session on Monday afternoon with the general topic being 'the introduction of IDN ccTLDs'. The reason for this is that current indications are that the Board may sign off on this in Seoul and it is important that each AC and SO has an opportunity to express any concerns they may have. The ACSO session would be scheduled with the staff (Tina, Kurt and team) IDN session acting as an introduction.
The ACSO planning meeting is scheduled for after our meeting this week. I will add this to the status for that meeting, but am looking for feedback both on the list before the meeting or in the meeting itself.
thanks a.
