Given the wide support Brian has received, I would also urge that we minimize the time spent on that process and have a vote on Brian's appointment and then spend the additional time on point 4 From: Paul@law.es<mailto:Paul@law.es> Sent: May 8, 2018 10:02 AM To: julie.hedlund@icann.org<mailto:julie.hedlund@icann.org>; gnso-rpm-wg@icann.org<mailto:gnso-rpm-wg@icann.org> Subject: Re: [gnso-rpm-wg] REMINDER: Proposed agenda for RPM Working Group call on 09 May 2018 at 1200 UTC Hi Mary, Given the extensive emails that were exchanged (all of which were in favor of his nomination) can we dispense with the 20-30 mins allocated to #2 (or at least streamline it? I would really like to focus on #4. So I suggest a revision to the order as follows: Draft Agenda: 1. Roll call and updates to Statements of Interest (1 minute) 2. Co-Chair Nomination: * Q&A with Brian Beckham * Discussion * Decision on Co-Chair Nomination (10 minutes total) 1. Presentation of Research from Rebecca Tushnet (30-40 minutes) 2. discussion of URS Phase II proposal (tentative-if necessary/30 minutes) 3. Status of meetings for 16 and 23 May (1 minute) Paul Keating From: gnso-rpm-wg <gnso-rpm-wg-bounces@icann.org<mailto:gnso-rpm-wg-bounces@icann.org>> on behalf of Julie Hedlund <julie.hedlund@icann.org<mailto:julie.hedlund@icann.org>> Date: Tuesday, May 8, 2018 at 3:41 PM To: "gnso-rpm-wg@icann.org<mailto:gnso-rpm-wg@icann.org>" <gnso-rpm-wg@icann.org<mailto:gnso-rpm-wg@icann.org>> Subject: [gnso-rpm-wg] REMINDER: Proposed agenda for RPM Working Group call on 09 May 2018 at 1200 UTC Dear RPM PDP WG members, Per the WG Co-Chairs, here is the proposed agenda for the Working Group call Wednesday, 09 May 2018, scheduled for 1700 UTC. Times are proposed as estimates and may be adjusted. Staff notes that the GDD Summit and RightsCon conflict with the WG meeting on the 16th, and the INTA meeting conflicts with the WG meeting the 23rd, so it will be very helpful if WG members could indicate their availability for those dates. Draft Agenda: 1. Roll call and updates to Statements of Interest (1 minute) 2. Co-Chair Nomination: * Q&A with Brian Beckham * Discussion * Decision on Co-Chair Nomination (20-29 minutes total) 1. Continued discussion of URS Phase II proposal (tentative-if necessary/30 minutes) 2. Presentation of Research from Rebecca Tushnet (30 minutes) 3. Status of meetings for 16 and 23 May (1 minute) Best regards, Mary, Julie, Ariel and Berry _______________________________________________ gnso-rpm-wg mailing list gnso-rpm-wg@icann.org<mailto:gnso-rpm-wg@icann.org> https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/gnso-rpm-wg ________________________________ Confidentiality Notice: This communication constitutes an electronic communication within the meaning of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C.
