> Dear SO/AC Leaders,
>
> As you may have seen, ICANN Staff posted a document on Community  
> Input and Advice Process for public comment on 24 September (see  
> http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/input-advice- 
> function-24sep12-en.htm). In addition, a session has been scheduled  
> in Toronto to discuss this subject (see http://toronto45.icann.org/ 
> node/34195). The objective of this public comment forum and the  
> discussion in Toronto is to obtain community input on the process  
> by which the ICANN Board seeks advice from the community on topics  
> that are not subject to formal policy development processes. It is  
> hoped that these discussions could lead to a consistent and  
> predictable process to be adopted by the ICANN Board for such  
> inquiries.
>
> For the meeting in Toronto we are putting together an informal  
> panel discussion during which we would like to hear from the  
> different SO/ACs how they currently deal which such requests from  
> the Board and provide their views on the questions that were also  
> outlined in the discussion paper (see http://www.icann.org/en/news/ 
> in-focus/accountability/input-advice-function-24sep12-en.pdf):
> Should standardized processes be created for the Board's receipt of  
> community input and advice?
> If so, should such a procedure be standardized across ICANN SOs/ 
> ACs, aligned with the current existing procedures, or should there  
> be some flexibility among the SOs/ACs (certain parts are required  
> for all, while other parts may be developed by the respective SO/Acs)
> How should the Board request this input and advice?
> What is the most effective and efficient method to deal with the  
> issue topic identified? Should it be a working group, could current  
> procedures be used? Who determines which method will be used?
> Should working groups be chartered for each initiative?
> How are different parts of the ICANN community expected to work  
> together in these efforts?
> What minimum public consultation requirements, if any, should be  
> required within this function?
> Who within ICANN lead this effort?
> We would like to encourage you and/or members of your SO/AC to  
> attend this session to share your views. If you have any  
> suggestions for panel members, please feel free to share those off- 
> list with me. The session takes place on Monday 15 October from  
> 13.30 – 14.45 local time in room Metro Centre.
