<p class=MsoNormal>In Cairo I was asked to head a drafting team to author a
letter to the ICANN Board conveying our disappointment in the Public
Participation sessions at the Cairo Meeting and to address the concern that
ICANN was trending to reduce the amount of “contact sessions”
between the Public and the Board – a vital part of the ICANN Meetings.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Please find attached the letter that we submit to the Council
for approval to go to the Board.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Avri, can you please provide the appropriate comment period
and detail the process for this to happen.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks to Chuck, Avri and Kristina for their assistance. <o:p></o:p></p>
