It is time for us to start thinking about discussion topics for our three regular joint meetings in Brussels: 1) GAC/GNSO meeting; 2) Board/Staff/GNSO dinner meeting; and 3) ccNSO/GNSO meeting. To get discussion going, I listed some ideas below.
GAC/GNSO meeting
Janis suggested the following with my comments in parentheses:
· DAG 4, including morality and public order (could be a lively discussion)
· AoC, including A&T RT and next reviews
· RAA (I believe that this is one where there is common interest in discussing)
· IDN ccPDP (I don’t think this is very useful from a GNSO point of view, but maybe I am missing something)
Personally I would be content to focus on the first two, both broad as is.
Board/Staff/GNSO dinner meeting
· There are rumblings that there are some on the Board who think this meeting has outlived its usefulness; in light of that, it might be useful to discuss the value or lack of value from both the GNSO and Board/Staff perspective.
We'd be offering a dialogue with us about why they don't want a dialogue with us? Doesn't sound awkward at all...A priori I would think it better to clarify the concerns in advance of the meeting, e.g. via Adrian's survey, and to demonstrate the value of meetings by having a good discussion of key policy issues, perhaps in Bruce's mixed format. In any event, I am among those who've found these to be very useful.
ccNSO/GNSO meeting
· DNS-CERT
Sounds right. Bill
