1. What issues are most important to your RALO and your region? The North American community detailed its concerns in full measure during the JPA mid-term review cycle. I would advise ICANN Staff to review the submissions tendered to the NTIA. 2. How can we help make your time efficient? A calendar detailing obligations, deadlines, responsible parties and process requirements would help. For example, in order for the Summit to be approved by the Board, a thoroughly comprehensive submission must be ready by 10 June. At this point in time we are still unaware as to whether the earlier set of questions tendered by Staff have been answered, whether there will be a Call for Workshop Proposals/Papers etc., -- you will note that the IGF has already received 104 workshop proposals for their upcoming endeavor -- whether whatever submission is produced needs to first be ratified by the ALAC in Special Session, etc. 3. What challenges and opportunities do you see for your region? No comment. 4. How could we increase interaction between communities? You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink -- increased interaction may not be possible. 5. What are the top three priorities you would list for your regions? A. At-Large representation on the ICANN Board B. Registrants constituency within the GNSO C. Appropriate measures to strengthen ICANN's Compliance Department 6. What are the top three objectives you would like to see achieved for your regions? No comment. 7. What are the top three activities you would like to see implemented and practiced in your region? No comment.
