Thanks, Liz. However, I think that we need to get the changes that were discussed on the call drafted into <div>a draft charter. Also, there were discussions about having staged elections. The attached proposal</div><div>looks too much like a 'flash cut' or changeover, but without yet having developed the changes in the </div><div>draft Charter. </div><div><br></div><div>At this point, with Seoul so close, it doesn't seem reasonable to expect to get everything done but </div><div>we should have a redraft on the charter with changes discussed for consideration before Seoul.</div><div><br></div><div>Since there are so few attendees from the BC in Seoul, I would like to have more discussion before </div><div>hand, perhaps even with a cross constituency participation, so that everyone in the membership </div><div>of the three groups has a good understanding of the proposed CSG. </div><div><br></div><div>I don't think that a 'flash' cut with everyone being elected all at one time, especially for two years,</div><div>can work out. We need more involvement from a broader set of members to discuss the changes</div><div>and reach agreement on a charter for the BC, as well as understanding what the CSG is going to </div><div>do, and how it will be supported.</div><div><br></div><div>Realizing that Gary is leaving shortly, and will be greatly missed, it seems also time to have </div><div>a briefing from the ICANN staff regarding staff support options</div><div><br></div><div>Marilyn <br>> From: lizawilliams@mac.com<br>> To: bc-gnso@icann.org<br>> Subject: [bc-gnso] Follow up from last week's conference call<br>> Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2009 08:28:38 +0100<br>> <br>> All<br>> <br>> Further to our discussion last week about how to make the leap from <br>> the current structure to a new one, I have re-circulated a straw man <br>> proposal I sent around a couple of months ago.<br>> <br>> It suggests a way forward which is easy to do, low impact on our <br>> systems and gives clear results quite quickly.<br>> <br>> The only thing that would need to change in the document are the <br>> actual dates -- I proposed end of July to have a new slate of <br>> volunteers/elected people in place by Seoul.
