I personally (haven’t discussed this with others in NCSG) never expected written answers to our questions to the CEO before the meeting, and was somewhat surprised
when we made the request.
I still believe it would be worthwhile to engage the CEO in a conversation.
The questions we sent to the strawberries were pretty simple (e.g, Q2 is a yes or no) I now have doubts about meeting with the strawberry team; if they cannot
say “Yes we have met with DPAs” or “no we haven’t” I am not sure what good a meeting with them is going to do.

Dear Janis,
Thank you for the questions. Unfortunately, with a busy schedule preparing for the Board’s workshop this week, we are unable to provide you with written answers at this time. We will
be happy to discuss them in person when we meet with the EPDP team here in the Los Angeles office next week.
The Strawberry team is available to meet any time on 9 Sept, or any time before 1500 on 10 Sept. I am available on 9 Sept. from 0900-1000 or 1315-1400; or 11 Sept. from 1400-1500.
Thank you,
Göran Marby

Dear Göran,
In preparation for the EPDP Team’s F2F meeting which will take place in Los Angeles from 9 – 11 September, the team has indicated that it would appreciate
the opportunity to engage with you as well as the strawberry team to better understand the current status as well as some of the assumptions made in relation to the UAM based on the TSG model. In order to prepare accordingly for such an engagement, the EPDP
Team has identified the following questions which it would appreciate a response to prior to the LA F2F meeting to better prepare for and anticipate the best timing for this engagement, which is of course also dependent on your schedule and availability.
Questions to ICANN CEO
Questions to Strawberry Team
If possible, we would appreciate if you could provide the EPDP Team with your feedback by Thursday 5 September noon UTC at the latest.
Thank you in advance
JK
