I believe we need a number of quick updates by Staff related to items that affect the work of the Council as well as a couple of items we just need to figure out how to proceed on... I propose that we add in for Staff Updates: Status on recruitment and interviewing schedule for filling policy support staff positions Update on schedule for meetings for Cape Town Status on posting of Strategic Plan Provision/posting of any documents from ICANN to external entities, including OECD, WIPO, any others requesting work/input to the Strategy for new gTLD Implementation as well as the actual responses and reports provided by the external entity. We also need to discuss further how to proceed with the development of criteria for liaisons to other Supporting Organizations in terms of expected roles and responsibilities. Once this is done, we can then proceed with selection of the liaisons. Perhaps this could be a work item for Council at Cape Town. 202-360-1196 c mcade@att.com -----Original Message----- From: Bruce Tonkin [mailto:Bruce.Tonkin@melbourneit.com.au] Sent: Sunday, October 17, 2004 11:58 PM To: council@gnso.icann.org Subject: RE: [council] Draft Agenda for Council meeting Thursday 21 October 2004 Adding an item (8) - Update on planning for ICANN meeting in Cape Town Regards, Bruce
