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?

Subject: Re: [NA-Discuss] ICANN Strategic Plan Consultation

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?
