<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">
<DIV></DIV>Just a thought, not on the topic itself but on the issue of adding
agenda items after the cut-off date. I've discussed this privately with Olga
and Chuck and we all wonder if there is anyone on the Council that is
uncomfortable with including late agenda items such as this one? Although
everytime we've done this I've personally felt it was fully justified, I
wonder if everyone is OK with this?

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=759233217-03012010>I just received
a message from Janis Karklins regarding the joint GAC/GNSO meeting in
Nairobi confirming the 5-6 pm slot on Sunday. He also proposed the following
two topics for discussion:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=759233217-03012010>1. New gTLD

are already past our deadline for agenda finalization, but I believe that
would should initiate discussion on this on 7 Jan. There will be no
action other than discussion regarding the following: 1) how we feel about
the two proposed topics; 2) whether we have any other topics we want to
suggest; 3) how should we proceed in preparing for the session with the
GAC. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
