[NCUC-EC] Constituency Day

[Edward Morris]

Hi Bill,

Safe travels home.

Lots on the list I want to respond to,  but I've been without power most of
the weekend and given the winds outside have no idea how long the current
supply will last,  so let me try to be concise (a true challenge for me, I
know).

I think a meeting would be a great idea. Scheduling may be a problem but I
hope we can sort it.

I have charity commitments (Halloween functions) both the evenings of the
31st and 1st. I'd love to get out of them but my companion here might
consider homicide if I tried. So, I'm available the 31st until around 17:30
UTC and until 17:00 UTC on the 1st. I can do past midnight on the 31st/1st
and past 2 a.m. on the 2nd if folks are in different time zones and are up
at those hours. The 12th is out as I'm in London the 11th and 12th before
heading to B.A. from Heathrow on the 13th.

If we're into more abstract things it might be nice to get consensus on
determining the voting roll. Of course, I'm looking towards the future
bylaws vote in suggesting this is something we need deal with more formally.

I've read the draft report, don't understand it completely, but will try to
be prepared for the meeting using pre-CD days in BA to ask questions of
those more knowledgeable about the subject.

I'll try to respond on list when weather, power and time allow but...

It can be included in your p.c. proposal but I really think a panel on "
ICANN: Operations?" is needed. Be it the proposal to run a centralised
WHOISdatabase or
ICANN's recent involvement with the child porn bust this organisation is
starting to do the type of thing that, in part, caused the former Chair to
be let go. If we can work it into the overall concept of your p.c. I think
such discussion would be valuable.

I feel like I've spent most of my term trying to fill the SCI positions. I
believe Amr will be stepping down when he assumes his Council seat so we
may have to fill that soon (as in current term) as well.

I think the CD proposal is excellent and commend the Chair.

Kind Regards,

Ed
