Participation' Letter to ICANN Board.<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>All,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>In today’s GNSO wrap up session a number of folks voiced
their dissatisfaction with the manner in which the ICANN Public Forum session
was conducted. This dissatisfaction centred around the lack of time made
available for the public to engage the ICANN Board during the ONLY time that
is dedicated to this on the Meeting schedule, especially during this
incredibly busy and important time.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>There were also a number of other issues, such as the
inadequate mechanisms for public participation, that has prompted Avri to
suggest a letter be drafted expressing these views and that this letter be
sent to the ICANN Board.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>To this end I would like to hear from those that would like
to participate in joining a small Drafting Team to get the letter drafted in
advance of the Mexico Meeting.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Please respond to the list and we can take it from
there...<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Thanks.<o:p></o:p></P>
