London Meeting -- staff attendance and conference call with Strickling and Beckstrom
Dear Team Members: 1) The following ICANN staff members are looking forward to joining you in London for your first formal meeting to provide substantive information on Whois matters and relevant ICANN activities: Denise Michel - Advisor to the President & CEO Liz Gasster - Senior Policy Counselor, ICANN Policy Support Stacy Burnette - Director, Contractual Compliance Olof and Alice, of course, also will be there to support the Team's operational and administrative needs. It would be helpful to receive this week input on what the Team would like staff to cover at the meeting and any specific questions the Team would like the staff to address. While staff is committed to being as responsive and helpful as possible, depending on the complexity of the requests, staff may also provide follow-up answers and information in writing after the meeting. 2) Following-up on a request by some Team members in Cartagena that Assistant Secretary Strickling and CEO Beckstrom talk to the Team about their "intent" regarding the Whois review language in the Affirmation of Commitments, I have asked their respective schedulers to try to find time for a brief conference call with the Team during your London meeting. Their staff are making every effort to re-arrange schedules to get them both on the phone with you for a brief chat. I am assuming that, if their schedules can't be synced, as a fall-back you would want to speak with them individually. Please let me know if this is not the case. I look forward to seeing you all in London. Regards, Denise Denise Michel ICANN Advisor to the President denise.michel@icann.org +1.408.429.3072 mobile +1.310.578.8632 direct
Dear Denise, Dear All Denise, I am delighted to here that you and other members of the ICANN team will be in attendance at the London meeting, and appreciate your continued support of the Team's work. All, I attach an updated draft of the London agenda for your information. It is more or less the same as that circulated before Christmas, but makes a number of changes in response to comments: - Later finish time on second day - Inclusion of "producers" under item 3 (Developing the Definitions) - Discussion with Larry Strickling is inserted as new item 4 (afternoon of first day). This item is referred to in Denise's mail, and is carried over from the Cartagena meeting. Denise, if Rod is available to join this discussion, he would be most welcome. If not, we can schedule for another occasion. Your other question, Denise, is I hope answered by the agenda on day 2 (item 6(a)). If anything is unclear, Kathy or I will be happy to give you a briefing. I look forward to receiving any final comments by the end of Friday. In the absence of any comments, we will take this agenda as agreed prior to the meeting. Kind regards Emily On 5 Jan 2011, at 17:41, Denise Michel wrote:

Thank you for your response, Emily. Could you clarify something for me ... in Cartagena I was told that the Team really wanted to hear from Strickling and Beckstrom together. Since Strckling has now been scheduled separately (and at a time Beckstrom currently is not available), am I correct in assuming that the Team has changed it's mind and will only be speaking with Strickling during the London meeting? (which is fine) And that we don't need to try to find another time on Beckstrom's schedule on the 19th or 20th? (and if this is the case, do you have another date in mind?) Thanks for clarifying.

Emily, I see in the draft agenda that you and Kathy plan to present a proposal for meetings. Would it be possible to send that out in advance of the meeting, perhaps this week? My calendar is filling up and I continue to make other commitments as requests come in. At present, I have nothing blocked out for the WHOIS Review except ICANN meeting weeks. If we plan on meeting at other times, it would be good to know that as soon as possible.

Bill, We can certainly try, but the purpose of sharing a draft at the London meeting was to see whether people agreed with the ideas we share for F2F and conference call meetings.

Kathy, I suggest that we can test for agreement via email, phone, or in-person. If a proposal won't be available until London, there's no need to consider sending earlier. My point is that getting *something* out sooner, rather than later is desirable so that we may begin to consider this as a group. Re a conference call proposal, I believe one was made some time ago to schedule calls on a set day/time at least every fortnight (with the option to hold additional calls on the "off" weeks). We had found a day/time that seemed to work for all or most people and I hope we can continue with that "plan".

Hi Bill Kathy and I will do our best to get some ideas out there to the group prior to the meeting. As Kathy said, these could only be proposals until the group has the chance to discuss (unless we manage to all agree it on the list), but it will certainly get the ball rolling.

I'd like to echo Bill, asking for a *very rough* draft or list of *suggestions* regarding physical (or other) meetings. It is much easier for me to tentatively block some more slots as early as possible and to relase some of them later on, rather than having to cancel or move other activities that have been agreed already. Btw, the Address Council yesterday agreed to have our monthly phone conferences on the 1st Thursday each month, starting at 16:00 UTC. Due to collision with other major events, for May and November 2011 the calls will be held on the 2nd Thursday: May 12th and November 10th. Wilfried. Emily Taylor wrote:

Hi Denise, We appreciate the ICANN Staff who will be joining us for the meeting in London. It is very good that we will have strong support from both Compliance and Policy staffs. We have lots of questions! Hi All, I was hoping that we (Review Team members) might work on these questions. Is there someone who would like to take the lead on: - drafting questions for Compliance; And someone else - drafting questions for Policy? A few questions are in the agenda, but only an outline. Tx for these contributions - and for posting to our list!

Hi Denise, We (Emily and I) were contacted by Fiona Alexander of NTIA who was following up on our original request for Mr. Strickling's time. Given how busy schedules are, we took the time we could -- 9:30-10:30am Eastern, 2:30-3:30pm GMT, on our first day in London. It is nice to have this time, and good to know we can ask our questions to Mr. Strickling. All - he would like a sense of the questions ahead of time -- I would be happy to be the collector -- feel free to send to me and I'll compile and pass on. We would, of course, welcome the opportunity to talk further with Rod!
