Hello Jeff, Thanks for the suggestions. With regard to the first item, we discussed this at the meeting in Montreal. The next step would appear to be for the registry constituency to prepare a paper for discussion that will lead to a recommendation from the GNSO Council. I will place this on the agenda for the next Council meeting on 25 September. You might like to coordinate with the ISP constituency and the ICANN Security and Stability Committee in the development of the paper. With regard to the second item, I will add this to the discussion on council structure in item 6 of the agenda. An appropriate follow up to our teleconference on August 14 is probably to schedule a teleconference with the ICANN Board to discuss the issues raised in item 6. As an approach to improving coordination - I suggest we schedule joint teleconferences with the Board perhaps quarterly with an agenda that might include general process issues associated with the Board and the GNSO (e.g item 6), and also to provide briefings on current policy development activities once they reach draft report status. Ideally we could time these joint teleconferences to occur before a physical ICANN meeting. Regards, Bruce

Can we please add a follow up discussion on the following issues that were discussed at the last meeting on Montreal:

1) Advisory regarding adoption and support of new TLDs -- was formerly known as "ISP Filtering" and 2) Methods of improved communication with the Board (i.e., Board liaison to Council)

I do not want to see these issues fall in the cracks.

Thanks.
