<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">Hello Marilyn,</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">> </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">> On other items of business, can we add a brief discussion on </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">> the PDP process, timing, requesting an issues report, etc.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">> regarding the further introduction of new gTLDs, and whether </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">> it is necessary to have a PDP related to IDNs? The first item </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">> has timelines associated with it, as I recall, from the MOU. </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">OK. Will check MOU for timelines with respect to new TLDs.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><I><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">[Paul Verhoef]</FONT></I></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><I> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">we will inform</FONT></I></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><I> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">the Council</FONT></I></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><I> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">on the way we foresee to move</FONT></I></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><I> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">forward</FONT></I></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><I><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">. </FONT></I></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">We also need to think about the "review of the GNSO" which is mentioned</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">in the ICANN bylaws.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">We should think about doing are own internal review as a starting point.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">Part of this would be reviewing the timelines in the current bylaws and</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">determine whether they are realistic in practice given that the policy</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">development structure is essentially industry self-regulation. Our</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">timelines probably need to be looked in the context of similar processes</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">such as ITU standards and IETF standards - both of which have longer</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">timeframes then envisaged in the bylaws.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">With respect to IDNs - we could probably consider that at the meeting in</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">KL after the workshop.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><B><I><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">[Paul Verhoef</FONT></I></B></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><B><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">]</FONT></B></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-gb"> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">I would agree, it seems a bit early and the KL workshop is designed to give an impulse to the collective thinking on IDN's</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-gb"></SPAN></P>
<BR>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">> Could we invite staff to brief us on any separate, but </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">> related staff level work related to the policy process for </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">> each of those topics.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">A good idea. Hopefully Paul Verhoef will be able to attend as the</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">meeting time is more appropriate for his time zone than California.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><B><I><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">[Paul Verhoef]</FONT></I></B></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><I> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">I will attend indeed</FONT></I></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-gb"></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">> </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">> Also, since the ccNSO will be holding its first meeting in </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">> K.L. I suggest that we arrange at least a "get acqauinted" </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">> session. </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">I will see what we can arrange - perhaps a breakfast of lunch together</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">one day.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">I am not sure if the ccNSO Council will be in place by then.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">I will follow up.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><B><I><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">[Paul Verhoef]</FONT></I></B></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><I> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">The ccNSO council members are now known so this should be possible</FONT></I></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><BR>
