I also think that we may want to acknowledge upfront that the AoC is a fairly recent event, that there has been a lot of change in the period since the AoC was signed, and that we have a realistic view about what progress could have been made during that period. Accordingly, I would expect a significant part of the discussion to be about establishing a baseline for measuring future improvements and about getting the staff to tell us about their plans for those future improvements. </font></span></div> <div dir="ltr" align="left"><span class="985063113-23042010"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"></font></span> </div> <div dir="ltr" align="left"><span class="985063113-23042010"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Thoughts?</font></span></div> <div dir="ltr" align="left"><span class="985063113-23042010"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"></font></span> </div> <div dir="ltr" align="left"><span class="985063113-23042010"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"></font></span> </div> <div dir="ltr" align="left"><br></div> <div class="OutlookMessageHeader" lang="en-us" dir="ltr" align="left"> <hr tabindex="-1"> <font face="Tahoma" size="2"><b>From:</b> at-review-bounces@icann.org [<a target="_blank" href="mailto:at-review-bounces@icann.org">mailto:at-review-bounces@icann.org</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Burr, Becky<br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, April 20, 2010 11:56 AM<br><b>To:</b> at-review@icann.org<br><b>Subject:</b> [At-review] Draft of questions in advance of F2F in Marina del Rey<br></font><br></div> <div></div><font face="Arial" size="2"> <p class="MsoBodyText" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 12pt"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span class="887045015-20042010">I have attached as a Word document and pasted below, a first cut at questions/issues for staff in Marina del Rey.
