<div>Thanks, Avri. My vote would be for (1) the
expanding role of GAC in ICANN and implications
arising therefrom; </div>

<div>I agree this would be a good topic of discussion.
However, I would like the question to be a bit
more provocative and open-ended. What I don't want to
hear in reply is e.g., "the GAC's advice is an important
part of our decision making, we take their advice
seriously and balance it with other stakeholders and the
policy making process, blah..."</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>E.g., we could ask, "Is the current GAC model
consistent with the ICANN bottom-up, multistakeholder
policy making model? Can the Board see government
representatives becoming more integrated in this model?
If so, how?" </div>

<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
As was pointed out in the email sent
regarding the Board-NCSG meeting in
Singapore, and as mention on today's
call, we need to propose 3 questions
to the Board. The Board will also
propose 3 questions to us.<br>
<br>
I will give people another day or so
to suggest topics. <br>
<br>
On Wednesday evening, I will put
together a doodle pool of the
choices and over the course of
Thursday, NCSG members will be
invited to pick their top choices.<br>
<br>
On Friday, I will write up the 3 top
topics, send it to this list for 24
hour review and then send it to the
Board for their consideration over
the weekend.<br>
<br>
To start the list we have the 3
topics we picked last time when the
meeting was cancelled and two
suggestions provided by
Konstantinos:<br>
<br>
<br>
1. We would like to better
understand how the Board weighs GAC
advice in relation to GNSO
recommendations, the CWG work and
community comment on the
implementation in the by-laws
mandated process. Of special
interest are issues related to
MAPO/Rec6 and Community Objections.<br>
<br>
2. We would be very interested to
hear how the the Board reads both
the substance and process of
Cross-Community WGs and the JAS
group in particular to understand
what the Board is thinking viable
supports might be and how they
regard the recommendations for fee
reductions.<br>
<br>
3. While understanding that the NCSG
Stakeholder Group charter is waiting
on the approval of the standardized
New Constituency process
recommended by the Structural
Improvements Committee, we would
like to understand what issues, if
any, may be blocking Board approval
of both the New Constituency Process
and the NCSG Stakeholder Group
charter.<br>
<br>
4. The role of the GAC within ICANN
and how this might affect its
stakeholder groups.<br>
(this may entail a re-write of
#1)<br>
<br>
5. Trademark issues. <br>
(might be good to have more
detail on this question)<br>
<br>
Please send you suggestions for
inclusion in the doodle poll.
Updates on the questions from last
time also requested.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
a.<br>
