K ________________________________ From: owner-council@gnso.icann.org [mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org] On Behalf Of Adrian Kinderis Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2008 9:28 AM To: council@gnso.icann.org Subject: [council] Drafting Team for 'Public Participation' Letter to ICANN Board. All, In today's GNSO wrap up session a number of folks voiced their dissatisfaction with the manner in which the ICANN Public Forum session was conducted. This dissatisfaction centred around the lack of time made available for the public to engage the ICANN Board during the ONLY time that is dedicated to this on the Meeting schedule, especially during this incredibly busy and important time. There were also a number of other issues, such as the inadequate mechanisms for public participation, that has prompted Avri to suggest a letter be drafted expressing these views and that this letter be sent to the ICANN Board. To this end I would like to hear from those that would like to participate in joining a small Drafting Team to get the letter drafted in advance of the Mexico Meeting. Please respond to the list and we can take it from there... Thanks. Adrian Kinderis Managing Director AusRegistry Group Pty Ltd Level 8, 10 Queens Road Melbourne.
