<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I would like

<p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The
first</span></i></b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> concerns
our fact finding vis-à-vis ICANN and was prompted by the regrets expressed by
many members of the RT about Rod Beckstrom's absence. We certainly need to
interact with the staff and it is unfortunate that the CEO cannot be there.
But, from the point of view of the responsibility for its decisions and
actions, <b><i>ICANN is not its staff, ICANN is its Board</i></b>. They take
the decisions, they are responsible for any perceived lack of transparency and
accountability. At some time during the process, the RT should have a
discussion with the Board. When could this be arranged? I wonder if this
could not take place in September. If the Board were to meet in September we
could imagine holding our meeting again in MdR and having a session with the
whole Board. Comments?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The
second</span></i></b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> concerns
the September meeting and complicates the picture. In September there is an
IGF in Vilnius (14<sup>th</sup> to the 16<sup>th</sup>). There would be a
case for holding our meeting there and adding, perhaps, another interactive
session with stakeholders. This obviously conflicts with what I have just
said in the previous paragraph. We will have to discuss the matter in MdR.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The
third</span></i></b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> idea
concerns the location of the other meetings. Some stakeholders have expressed
the view that to stress the international dimension of the review process the
RT should meet in various parts of the world. There is obviously some merit
in this position, but we also have to be practical. In any case, if we wanted
to meet in another region to accede to this request, we would have to make it
"visible" by holding at least an interactive session of the type of
the one being planned for June in Brussels. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

America).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>This only
leaves the fourth meeting, in November according to LS proposals, with on open
venue. Could this take place in Asia or Africa? (I know of the existence of
a fifth continent, but I believe that the two I have just mentioned are more
important in symbolic terms). What are the practical possibilities? We will
need to spend a few minutes on this issue as well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
