I have nothing to oppose. Many times these last minute items are urgent but not important, as I thik is the case now. If it were important and deserved thoughtful consideration I think many voices would come up to oppose this inclusion. By the way, as a non English speaker, I do oppose the abuse of acronyms such as AOB. Just kidding J. Never mind. I can perfectly understand: AOB Annals of Botany AOB Algemene Onderwijsbond AOB Any Other Business AOB Association of Brewers AOB Ammonia Oxidizing Bacteria AOB Ace of Base (band) AOB Assignment of Benefits AOB At or Below (aviation) AOB Alcohol On Breath AOB Air Order of Battle AOB Annual Operating Budget AOB Astronomical Observatory, Belgrade AOB Angle Of Bank AOB advanced operations base (US DoD) AOB Appellant's Opening Brief AOB All Other Business AOB Art of Business AOB Adjusted Occupied Bed AOB Anterior Open Bite (dentistry) AOB Alliance of Baptists AOB Art of Books (bookseller website) AOB Angle On the Bow AOB Average-On-Board AOB Andy O'Brien (Irish soccer player) AOB Approved Operating Budget AOB Away on Business (hospitality discount program) AOB aviation operations branch (US DoD) AOB Audio of Being (Matthew Good album) AOB Air Operations Branch AOB Airfield Operations Board AOB Alternate Operating Base AOB Airfield Operations Battalion (US Army Aviation) AOB Analytical Operations Branch AOB Auxiliary Order Board AOB Adiabatic Oxygen Bomb (calorimeter) AOB Angle Of Bearing AOB Alignment Outlet Box(es) AOB Asymptotic Optimal Boundary AOB Announcer on Board (advertising) Jaime Wagner j@bwagner.com.br +55(51)8126-0916 skype: jaime_wagner From: owner-council@gnso.icann.org [mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org] On Behalf Of Stéphane Van Gelder Sent: segunda-feira, 4 de janeiro de 2010 14:28 To: GNSO Council Subject: Fwd: [council] New AOB agenda item for 7 Jan Just a thought, not on the topic itself but on the issue of adding agenda items after the cut-off date. I've discussed this privately with Olga and Chuck and we all wonder if there is anyone on the Council that is uncomfortable with including late agenda items such as this one? Although everytime we've done this I've personally felt it was fully justified, I wonder if everyone is OK with this? Thanks, Stéphane Début du message réexpédié : De : "Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@verisign.com> Date : 3 janvier 2010 18:43:05 HNEC À : "GNSO Council" <council@gnso.icann.org> Objet : [council] New AOB agenda item for 7 Jan I just received a message from Janis Karklins regarding the joint GAC/GNSO meeting in Nairobi confirming the 5-6 pm slot on Sunday. He also proposed the following two topics for discussion: 1. New gTLD policy implementation, including EoI 2. AoC I know that we are already past our deadline for agenda finalization, but I believe that would should initiate discussion on this on 7 Jan. There will be no action other than discussion regarding the following: 1) how we feel about the two proposed topics; 2) whether we have any other topics we want to suggest; 3) how should we proceed in preparing for the session with the GAC. Glen - Please add the following to the 7 Jan agenda under AOB: 7.3 Joint Meeting with the GAC in Nairobi 7.3.1 Discussion re. GAC proposed topics: 1) New gTLD policy implementation, including EoI; 2) AoC. 7.3.2 Other possible topics to propose to the GAC? 7.3.3 Discussion re. how we should prepare for the joint GAC/GNSO session. Thanks, Chuck
