So I would come up with some basic talking points about that. You need to make it clear why it is absolutely essential that the GNSO continue to be structured in a way that balances commercial and noncommercial and contracted and non-contracted parties, and why board and GAC interference with GNSO consensus policies after the fact is a bad thing.

Agree.  While I think he has some sense of what we’re about already, given prior discussions, it’d be good to lock it the desired framing.  And to invite him to Constituency Day.

You could emphasize our belief that in the new accountability arrangements, ACs such as ALAC were given too much power relative to the much larger and more diverse set of stakeholders in the GNSO, and how a ALAC/GAC alliance in certain bylaw disputes might thwart attempts to keep ICANN constrained within its mission.

Unless my memory is foggy this morning we were not in uniform agreement on these points, so if there’s time to get into them it maybe qualified them as “some members are concerned that..”.
