All,
I have spoken with Steve Crocker and out of that conversation, a proposed structure of our 90 minutes meeting with the board has emerged (see below).
Note that there is specific scope for raising key questions / issues with the board and the structure anticipates some of these.
I propose to deliver the GNSO Council update using a few slides if necessary.
Any thoughts or comments on fleshing this out are welcome, particularly on "specific questions" and "current challenges / issues".
Thanks,
Jonathan
