<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">One question I’d like to see is: “Are there any plans to make ICANN more of an international organisation that is not beholden to or restricted by the laws
of any one country?” Your proposed topic possibly hints at this. Why not just come out and ask it so it is on the table for discussion. I don’t really expect we’d get a serious or full answer but it would get the subject out there. If ICANN doesn’t start planning
to make a move toward being a truly international organisation it will happen in an unplanned, possibly very destructive way whether we like it or not. It’s something we all need to start talking about.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">NCSG has the opportunity to meet with the ICANN Board of Directors in Costa Rica. We need to identify the 3 topics / questions that we are most interested in discussing with the Board during our hour with them.<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">One possible topic I'd like to suggest is ICANN's importance in defending the multi-stakeholder model of governance. We've seen a lot of pressure from governments recently to exert more control on the Internet and on ICANN policymaking
activities. It might be good to reiterate to the board that we support multi-stakeholderism in which civil society is an equal participant to business and government in policymaking and that ICANN can lead to defend this private-sector led governance model.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">What do others think? We should come up a top 3 list to propose to the board by 2 March.<o:p></o:p></p>

will be similar to those in Dakar – there will be a head table and class room style with additional chair seating. Interpretation and scribing will be provided for the meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
