The BC also needs to critically examine its current policy prioritiesö</div><div>look at the range of rapporteur reps, and plan for a challenging rest of year and early 2011. The BC will be holding elections in</div><div>October for Councilor and confirming the V.Chair of Operations and Finance, and preparing for elections of officers in January</div><div>for the four offices of Chair, V.Chair, Operations and Finance, V.Chair, Policy Coordination, and CSG Rep. A lot is happening at</div><div>ICANN that has implications for the role of the business user community in guiding and influencing ICANN as an entity, as well</div><div>as in gTLD policy. Policy decisions in the cc area and in related secuirity issues, which are broader than gTLD GNSO issues</div><div>are also growing in importance to business.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br></div><div>Accordingly, we will host a meeting, which will be anchored in Washington, D.C., but have remote participation supported </div><div>by ICANN, for all BC members, on October 12. Many mambers have asked for more time to debate and dicuss business</div><div>perspectives and policy topics, and like many other constituencies, we need to develop more discussion opportunities among our</div><div>members. During this meeting, the V.Chair of Operations and Finance and BC colleagues working with him will also present</div><div>a prototype of a BC communique.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br></div><div>While we have added several new members since the new election of officers in 2010, supported by outreach by all of our</div><div>active members, we need to do more outreach and recruitment.</div><div>Therefore, the BC also will examine some emerging issues with some invited speakers in two one hour sessions, followed by a BC </div><div>members discussion, which will include a discussion on the BC Charter changes which will be then formulated into </div><div>a BC Charter's Update and circulated to the BC Membership for two rounds of comments, via email, and follow up conference</div><div>call, later in October.</div><div><br></div><div>All of these sessions will be transcribed. Decisions on the Charter for CSG and BC changes will not be made at the Oct. 12</div><div>meeting, but members input, which will include electronic comments or submissions by email will be gathered and incorporated</div><div>into draft Charter for circulation.</div><div><br></div><div>The two topics which will provide the emerging issues 'panels'</div><div>are </div><div><br></div><div>SSR -- Security, Stability and Resiliency, which will b a discussion with experts from both BC members and one or two </div><div>industry wide experts</div><div>The role and considerations of 'brands' TLDs, which will include two guests participants from NGO brands.</div><div><br></div><div>Both of these sessions are to provoke exchange of views, information, and perspective.They will include invited guests from</div><div>companies who the BC is interested in recruiting to membership.</div><div>These sessions will be followed by a BC members only discussion about these topics and how they fit into the BC's mission</div><div>and an examination of gTLD policy priorities and current activities, with a view to develop priorities for rest of year, and early 2011.</div><div>[This session will be co-moderated by Marilyn Cade and Steve DelBianco]</div><div><br></div><div>The outreach/recruitment/informational sessions are being planned by invited members to expand the role and involvement</div><div>of our BC members. A panel description for each panel will be shared shortly.</div><div><br></div><div>Chris Chaplow, V.Chair, Operations and Finance will also review a new communications pilot he has undertaken with</div><div>the assistance of one of our members, John Berard. He will also introduce the new Finance subCommittee members Jon Nevett</div><div>and Anders Halvorsen.</div><div> </div><div>NomComm Appointees Mike Roberts and Chris Martin are also invited to give a short overview of their expectations for the</div><div>2011 NomComm process and highlight the importance of early outreach via BC members to possible broader business candidates</div><div>for the range of positions appointed by the NC.</div><div> </div><div>Finally, we will begin the effort to update the BC Charter by looking at the CSG Charter, and the output-recommendations that are'being approved</div><div>from the Council accepting the recommendations of various restructuring committees with a briefing by ICANN staff, and then</div><div>discuss the highlighted areas of possible enhancements to the BC Charter. (again, this is a briefing and overview discussion with</div><div>online distribution fo charter changes. All decisions will be made after two rounds of email consultations to follow this briefing).</div><div> </div><div>The BC is a unique constituency and one that can significantly change its role in ICANN through increasing its focus on SSR and</div><div>other issues that are now becoming a key concern, augmenting the present set of key concerns. We have added 11 new members</div><div>since the new leadership was elected, and the members include several with a key expertise in SSR. '</div><div> </div><div>Most other constituencies hold face to face meetings during the year, and we may work toward such an event for all BC members</div><div>ion early 2011. For this upcoming meeting, we will focus on drawing those who can travel to Washington, DC for face to face,</div><div>and work hard with ICANN on remote participation and transcription to make your investment of time well worthwhile.</div><div> </div><div>The fuller set of speakers for the two informational sessions is being finalized and will be distributed shortly.</div><div> </div><div>Marilyn Cade</div><div>BC Chair</div><div> </div></div></span></blockquote></div><br><div>
