Subject: GNSO Council Meeting with ICANN Board

 

All,

 

I have spoken with Steve Crocker and out of that conversation, a proposed
structure of our 90 minutes meeting with the board has emerged (see below).

 

Note that there is specific scope for raising key questions / issues with
the board and the structure anticipates some of these.

 

I propose to deliver the GNSO Council update using a few slides if
necessary.

 

Any thoughts or comments on fleshing this out are welcome, particularly on
"specific questions" and "current challenges / issues".

 

Thanks,

 

 

Jonathan
