Pierre: I am aware that you attend the PSC in your personal capacity and not as a liaison or representative of the At-Large community per se but would you be so kind as to give us your thoughts on the below? Begin forwarded message:

Nick,
The Joint Project Agreement's Affirmation of Responsibilities called for a review of corporate administrative structure.
In activities on this front, the President's Strategic Advisory Committee encouraged the ICANN Board to explore the private international organization model as part of its review and to operationalize whatever outcomes result from the review.
While work was started by Ambassador Hans Correll -- see the extensive work here: http://www.icann.org/psc/corell-24aug06.html -- the current Strategic Plan Issues Report glosses over this entire area of "legal status and identity" with the single comment: "Defining the steps towards an independent ICANN will be an important task during the life of the next strategic plan".
My concern is that the current plan appears to place a lower priority on this initiative than would seem to be warranted (especially in light of the fact that we are now already fast approaching the JPA mid-term review).
I would appreciate an update from the ALAC liaison to the PSC if at all possible on the Review and on the plans to operationalize the Review outcomes.
While a teleconference could be arranged, I have not seen expressions of interest from other ALSs that would warrant setting up a call at this time.
regards, Danny

As with any other subject within ICANN's mission, I am always very happy to arrange teleconference briefings on the issues. Just tell me what issue or issues, and an idea of when :)

I see that at least two constituencies (registries and ISPs) have already held formal teleconferences with ICANN regarding the ICANN Strategic Plan.
Do members on this list similarly wish to schedule a teleconference to discuss elements of the Strategic Plan?
