meetings in Argentina

[Milton Mueller]

Karen, Frannie, EC members

Here are some agenda items I have proposed. Feel free to add, subtract,
modify.

1. Election of 3rd Council member
Carlos is not officially elected, he's just a carryover. We need to
organize an election soon and this is a good place to bring it up and
get volunteers. Of course the election would have to be held online.

2. Carolina Chavez
Formally on the Executive Committee as LAC representative, but has
never voted or participated, therefore under our rules we need to find a
replacement. I have waited to do this until the Argentina meeting,
because she may show up there - in which case you can persuade her to be
more active - or Erick, who nominated her, can be tapped to propose an
alternative.

3. ncuc.org
Report on progress? Other steps?

4. Reports from Council members
Robin and Marc need to identify the critical issues coming up

5. Carlos's idea about an "ICANN civil society caucus"
Will no doubt be discussed in joint meeting, but NCUC might want to get
its own ideas formulated

6. Chair election
Not too soon to think about who is going to replace me. Charter imposes
term limits - two terms for a candidate.

7. consumer protection issues
Lots of utter bullshit going on in registrar contracts and
registrar-registrant relations that need to be addressed from a consumer
protection standpoint. We might consider making this a campaign long
term. Since this is my idea, and many of you may have no idea what I am
talking about, this can wait until the European meeting, which I will
attend.
