Finishing up the Dakar NCUC agenda

[Robin Gross]

Thanks very much, Wendy, for focusing us on the important policy issues facing noncommercial users at ICANN in the coming months.

I'd like to propose that we spend the first hour of the November NCSG Open Policy Meeting focusing on these "big picture" policy goals as you suggest.  (The NCSG Open Policy Mtg will be scheduled at the end of this week for sometime between 14-16 November.)   So it would be great if members who have opinions, expertise or desired outcomes on any of the below policy issues come to that meeting ready to discuss them and to volunteer to work on them in the next year.  Thanks again!

All best,
Robin
