2 March deadline for NCSG proposed discussion topics for Costa Rica meetings (1) NCSG with Board (2) Public Forum

[Alain Berranger]

Dear NPOC and NCUC Colleagues,

Regarding the meeting with the Board, the first two topics are quite
important to NPOC's interim leadership and we should probably focus on
those, thinking long term anyway. The third topic has been flogged to death
already and will occupy much space in San José as is - also what new
elements that have not been discussed before can be brought forward by
NCUC? The fourth topic is "business as usual" and what value added
recruitment features can NCUC bring up that have not been shared before?

Regarding the second topic, I think that increased participation by
developing countries/emerging economies, in particular by the civil society
there, reflects better the real challenge facing ICANN than indicated by
the more generic "internationalization" term. Or, do some NCUC members mean
something else by "internationalizing"?
