Reaching resolution of these is probably not within reach during this meeting, and it would probably be inappropriate for us to do so even if there were time.You will find the Board is genuinely interested and will listen intently and respectfully.  I know there is a lot of heat associated with some -- perhaps all -- of these topics.  Let me urge terse, dispassionate presentation and discussion.

>> In listing the topics, and given some spirited conversation on these items, they are presented in pseudo-random order.  This order was determined by use of the RFC3797 process with the number of listed ICANN registrations at the time of running (22 Oct 2011, 11:20 GMT = 1070) as the single seed. The original published order is the one listed in the agenda of the last NCSG meeting, which can be found at: <https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/Agenda111018>
