Liz: In connection with the current GNSO review, I was researching some historical information in connection with the Council review conducted last year. In looking through the minutes of the GNSO Council call of 21-October-2004 (see http://gnso.icann.org/meetings/minutes-gnso-21oct04.htm) I noticed the following action item which I have reproduced below. d. Performance of the GNSO Council As regards the report on the performance of the GNSO Council that Dr. Paul Twomey had retained a consultant, Dr. Liz Williams to prepare earlier this year, a public version of the report will be posted by the end of October. In my research I was unable to locate this report. Could you or any of the other council member please direct me to where I can obtain a copy. I believe that this is an important background document in connection with the work that is currently underway. Best regards, Michael D. Palage

Hi Michael Very easy to answer this one from my side -- my third daughter was born on 25 October 2004 at 7:45pm. There was no way I would have been in any condition to do this report. I will look in other likely places but, given that this hasn't come to light before, I wonder if this isn't an error? Kind regards.

Liz, My recollection was that your report was completed in the summer (June-July) timeframe around the KL meeting. It was only in October (3/4 months later) that your report was to be made public. As a consultant I am sure you kept a copy of any reports you were paid to do, at least that is what I do as a consultant. Perhaps these time frames could help you locating that work which you were contracted to do. Best regards, Michael D.

Michael Your recollection is incorrect. I was not contracted and, as a consequence, I do not have on file any report which is even close to the dates you have supplied. That is why I think that perhaps there has been an error. You must have mistaken my much earlier contribution on the GNSO policy development process. As you are aware, I have moved countries in the last six weeks to take up my position as Senior Policy Counselor. My archived reports are in my computer files in Australia. I will try to locate the much earlier report as quickly as possible. Liz -----Original Message----- From: Michael D.

Liz, My recollection is that you were retained to assist ICANN staff to help in improving GNSO policy development processes wrt WHOIS. This report then evolved into a broader audit report of GNSO policy, and in fact this was the GNSO Council report that was referenced in the 24-Oct-2004 minutes. The reason why I believe these document(s) which you prepared are so important is that it goes to the whole fairness issue that was discussed on the Council list last week. If you previously prepared report(s) that addressed the effectiveness of the Council/GNSO on policy, then it would be important for these documents to be made available to the community to identify any pre-conceived opinions/viewpoints in connection with your current assignment. Obviously you have your hands full so hopefully ICANN staff might be able to locate these report(s) quicker. Best regards, Michael D.
