[At-review] FW: List of issues that the A&T RT would like to discuss with ICANN staff on 5 May

[Cheryl Langdon-Orr]

Let's ensure we have some meaningful time in our Agenda / Schedule in MdR to
explore some of this within the RT (this is a case for in camera/closed
committee discussion in my view BTW) in a round table format...

But I do (whilst holding considerable issues  that I would like clarified /
modified or established regarding our most recent communications around  the
plans and intent for this very important first F2F meeting or the RT with
Staff) want to echo  something Brian said in particular  i.e. "...the RT
need not lose focus on the important work at hand and the need to get on
with it."

Then regarding the point by point approach Louie raised,  I to am uncertain
about the benefits of responding to such correspondence point by point per
se, but I *do* agree with the approach (list)  he raises and perhaps
 something along those lines could be 'made public' obvious to all Staff as
we prep to and meet with them in MdR... i.e.

"Yes,  we still intend to meet with ICANN Staff.



We will take into consideration that Staff may feel that they DON'T  have
enough time to provide oral responses however incomplete or uneven they may
be.



We will be the judge of whether these oral responses will retard or inform.



We appreciate that Staff is providing administrative support, but as Staff's
purpose is to carry out the Board's will, review of Staff action is crucial
to the review process.  And as such, Staff input in this early stage is
important to our work.

As a way to clearly establish our expectations and mandate as the RT on this
AoC review

Other thoughts / comments?
