I was waiting for the notes from Staff but they seem to be busy so here are some very rough notes:</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">1. Talked about criteria for selection meeting venue. He said there are still discussions on the criteria and we can contribute. So things haven't patched up quite yet.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">2. Mentioned remote hubs being closed down, he implied they were not very popular and he is open to ideas to make engagement better and mentioned their regional offices are becoming more active and facilitate participation. So, if you have ideas for better engagement with ICANN meetings, let us know</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">3. GDPR: I mentioned lack of transparency. He said that was not the intention but this is a complex issue and they don't have answers and are trying to investigate the matter. Asked if we could write a statement which clarifies our position </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">4. I said we are worried about the consumer safeguard office. He said if we need clarifications, we can ask him as well.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">5. Ombudsman: Ombuds reports to Board, but he agreed that we need to have an office and not one person and he said his staff are neutral. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">These were my rough notes. If I manage to check with staff notes I will complete them further. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><font face="verdana, sans-serif">Farzaneh </font></div></div></div></div>
