I’ll be looking at this tonight. And
providing any essential comments.
Fully respecting that timelines are right,
let me make a constructive suggestion regarding when the Board receives the “document”.
As I understand this situation, Liz, as
the staff supporting this work item, has already sent the document to the Board
in its earliest iteration.
The Council has established a work program
on this topic that Council is guiding, supported by staff.
So, for this iteration, perhaps Bruce, you
could consider the advisability of sending along a courtesy email to the Board
advising them of the very tight lines, and noting the date when they will get
the document. Since it is going to be discussed in an interactive and collegial
manner, in the spirit of multi stakeholderism that embodies ICANN, the Board
members and the Councilors will be able to interact and dialogue and discuss
questions that the Board – or that we as Council have….
So, this isn’t actually a document that
they have to delve into in great detail before hand. Of course they need it a
few days ahead. Yet, as a courtesy, and in keeping our Board informed, such
an advisory note of the time line challenges may be useful.

Subject: [council] GNSO Review TOR
+ Background Information
Colleagues
Thank you to everyone who has provided comments so
far. Please find attached two documents. As per input from the
conference call last week, I have separated out the background information and
devised another document which looks more like a more formal TOR.
Could I ask you to review it – the Chair has asked for
comments to be in by Friday 2 Sept Brussels COB. He will then
forward an updated document to the Board for 8 Sept once any additional
comments are taken into account.
On the current timeframe, this means that the Board will not
receive the document seven days prior to any meeting.
Any questions, come back to me.
Kind regards.
Liz
