[NCUC-DISCUSS] Meeting with ICANN CEO

[Michael Oghia]

Hi all,

Good points Renata, I support them in principle. However, I think it's best
to avoid asking him questions that a simple yes or no question will
suffice. Instead, it's better to ask questions that seek more substantive
answers. For instance, instead of number 5 (which is a great question), we
can frame it as (something along the lines of) "Given the political
transition with the new administration, how do you envision ICANN's
relationship with the Department of Commerce going forward?"

Best,
-Michael
