Thanks, Milton.<br>
<br>
There is one timing element I wanted to mention. The GNSO Council will
meet both Saturday and Sunday, BEFORE the ICANN meetings in Puerto
Rico. I am sure we will also talk about the BGC's comments.<br>
<br>
If you - or others - have any suggestions to share immediately, please
let us know.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I have just read the
summary report of the ICANN Board’s
Governance Committee (BGC) on the possibility of re-structuring the
GNSO. This
is basically the Board committee’s response to the reform
recommendations
of the London School of Economics report. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">This report shows that
the leadership of ICANN is taking the
LSE report seriously and proposing substantive changes in the way the
GNSO
operates. This is good news. Since NCUC is part of the GNSO, this
process will
have a major and direct impact on us. For example, it could pave the
way for
the consolidation of existing constituencies, addition of new
constituencies,
changes in GNSO voting arrangements. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I will add discussion of
this report to our <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">San Juan</st1:place></st1:City>
agenda and will prepare a taking
points paper, The report contains a list of questions that are being
asked by
the Board Committee., I will propose suggested answers that I think are
good ones,
and we can discuss in Puerto Rico. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
