<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Farzaneh, Tapani, and Joan,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Following are my notes from our NCPH meeting on 1 November. This is not intended as a “formal meeting report.” Rather, it is an informal account based on my hand-written notes. In particular, I tried to capture our discussion about potential
Intersessional topics – a few of which differ from the current draft agenda (attached). We may want to refer to these meeting notes during the 14 November Intersessional planning call and urge some revisions to the draft agenda developed by ICANN staff. Just
a suggestion …<u></u><u></u></p>

</u>– On 1 November, the CSG and NCSG convened as the Non-Commercial Party House to become better acquainted with the structure and of each house as well as consider processes and possible topics for the 1-2 February NCPH Intersessional in Los Angeles. Highlights
of the meeting include:<u><u></u><u></u></u></li></ul>

</span></span></span><u></u><i>Productive Intersessional</i> – Participants agreed that a successful Intersessional requires careful planning, involving Adobe chat sessions every two weeks or so in the run-up to the February meeting and the assignment of
a member from each House to lead discussion on a topic. Members further agreed that engagement with ICANN senior staff should be determined by the topics to be explored at the meeting. Finally, it was noted that the remote participation helped to ensure broader
participation within each House at the February 2017 Intersessional in Iceland and should be requested for the LA meeting.

</span></span></span><u></u><i>Importance of Developing Intra-House Processes</i> – Participants expressed interest in developing a list of inter-House processes for which we need to agree on procedures. Specifically, we should re-visit our efforts at the
February 2017 Intersessional to develop procedures governing the selection of Board Seat #14. This should include a clear timetable, so we all are aware of deadlines for candidate nomination, formal selection, etc. It was proposed that we use the LA meeting
to come to reach a consensus among Intersessional participants, with the understanding they each constituency would take this back for vetting before there is a final agreement.
