GNSO Council Development Session

Colleagues, as you will know, I have volunteered to facilitate the Council Development Session tomorrow. I have worked with ICANN staff on an agenda that promises to make the best out of everyone’s time while we are together. In the light of the proceedings yesterday I come to the conclusion it will not be the best use of everyone’s time if we proceed as planned. Thus, please be prepared to discuss a potential way forward for the Council tomorrow. I am more than willing to facilitate that discussion, but please let me know if you have any concerns about me doing so and if you would like to invite more people to the table tomorrow. I urge us all to find a solution rather sooner than later. Thank you and kind regards, Thomas Rickert ___________________________________________________________ Thomas Rickert, Attorney at Law Director Names & Numbers ------------------------------------- eco - Verband der Internetwirtschaft e.V.

Thank you Thomas Do we have a position of the NCPH on their position to reconfirm the Vice Chair or propose a new one? At least we would have a tripartite leadership tomorrow Carlos On Oct 22, 2015 11:01 AM, "Thomas Rickert" <rickert@anwaelte.de> wrote:

Hello Thomas, I am available to help also in any way that the Council may find useful. I have facilitated a few election processes at the Board level in recent years.

Dear Thomas, Dear Glen, I had originally planned to follow the ALAC Sessions on Friday. In light of my very poor performance as GNSO Liaison this week due to the circumstances of this week's agendas (my apologies for this), I felt that it would be more productive that I join you all for the GNSO Council Development Session, with your permission. I am currently attending the customary post-ICANN At-Large Leadership Team Friday morning meeting but will look forward to meet you all after it ends at around 9:45am. Kindest regards, Olivier On 22/10/2015 10:57, Thomas Rickert wrote:
