We need to stay above this and continue to communicate that we will not buy into or contribute to an "us" vs. "Them" approach. We all want ICANN to survive and thrive.

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

	should be "...that they DON'T have enough time..."

	"I don't know...."  (I was gonna say "I'm uncertain...." :)
