Dear colleagues, Just a short summary of the meeting yesterday: * Staff informed that the Board "Structural Improvements Committee (SIC)" is going to develop objective criteria for future constituency reviews. The process for developing those criteria will include public participation. Timing of further SO/AC reviews is still under discussion. It is expected that "a new timetable shouldn't start before the present has been finished". * A motion for a GNSO statement regarding the 2nd JAS report was deferred. BTW, the report was already forwarded to the board through ALAC. * A working team on future Cross Community Working Groups (Jaime is a member of) is expected to present a first report about the GNSO related inputs (scope, working method e.e.) at the Singapore meeting * Whois: A "Drafting Team to develop a survey to estimate the level of agreement that the conclusions and assumptions in the Inventory of Whois Service Requirements Report of 29 July 2010 have in the ICANN community" is to be established (see extra call for volunteers) * Volunteers are requested to form a Charter Drafting Team for the Outreach Task Force (see extra call) * From Sep 11 the council schedule shall turn to a 4-weekly call (instead of 3-weekly so far) * A GNSO schedule for Singapore has been drafted (see attached). Ideas for topics to be discussed with the board, the GAC and the ccNSO are welcome Happy volunteering! Wolf-Ulrich <<GNSO Draft Singapore 2011 v5.xls>>
