<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Dear EC,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">We can have a meeting with ICANN staff in Copenhagen to discuss their comments on our bylaws. we can have a coordination and exchange of views on what we think about their comments and what they meant by their comments and tell them why we don't consider some and consider others. The meeting will be transcribed and recorded so we don't have to report to the Board how we coordinated with Staff we just send them the recording of the meeting with transcription. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Again, Rob has reassured us that these are just suggestions and we can discard them. But we need to show at least some coordination with ICANN staff. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Who should attend the meeting: I think the meeting can be open to NCUC members as observers but those who should attend are: the current EC members, the former EC members (especially Rafik who led the Bylaws drafting). Anyone else you think we should invite? </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">Before having the meeting with staff, we need to have a meeting of our own to discuss their comments and prepare. That meeting has to happen soon. Perhaps Friday 10th or Sunday 12th. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">We can have the meeting with staff on Thursday 16th. Since Milton also wants to be in this meeting we can have it on Thursday, is that ok Milton? (I have to ask Maryam, this might not happen at all since this is a new meeting request but we will see since it is private and closed they might have a way)</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Here is the google doc for bylaws. <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m38v50W-vLjZLDAr6HoZzRXQP3aE9Xoz1RmlGqAIQ-Y/edit?usp=sharing">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m38v50W-vLjZLDAr6HoZzRXQP3aE9Xoz1RmlGqAIQ-Y/edit?usp=sharing</a></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Please start commenting.</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"><div dir="ltr"><div><font face="verdana, sans-serif">Farzaneh </font></div></div></div></div>
