Resending, since my email is NOT posting to the list:

There is an open issue that we haven't yet dealt with (although people were asking to in our last session).  According to the public comment analysis tool, there is no consensus on the role of Advisory Committees and there is concern in the community for dilution of authority and influence of SO community.  Comments expressed support for treating SOs and ACs along the lines in the current board structure.  This is beside the fact we seem to be moving away away from voting and toward consensus but about weight in decision making.  We need to deal with the fact we don't have consensus on these points.

The below statements are in our paper on "the model" which analyzed public comment:

•	Lack of consensus on the voting allocations between SOs and ACs.  Comments expressed concern for “dilution and authority and influence of SO community”. Most commenters on this issue expressed support for voting allocations along the lines of ICANN’s existing board structure.

•	Lack of consensus on the composition of the community within the Model (e.g. role of Advisory Committees). Comments indicated concern over the possible “duality” of the governmental role in the Model. Several comments expressed concern that providing votes to GAC will fail to meet NTIA requirements.

We haven't gone through these papers which analyzed public comment yet.

So, WHEN are we going to address these concerns expressed in public comment on which there is no consensus in the community?  Today?  

Thanks,
Robin
