<DIV>Thanks for the helpful summary, Chuck.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>FWIW (sorry for jumping in late - I took some family time off (yes, complete with email withdrawal symptoms!!!!) this past week and am catching up) here are my brief thoughts:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1. I support the first 3 topics listed for the GAC/GNSO meeting (esp. topics 1 (& 2 (DAG v4 & AoC);</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2. I support topics 3 & 4 (i.e. Internet governance & DAG v4) for the Board dinner; and</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>3. I support DNS-CERT as the main topic for the ccNSO meeting.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>On the relevance/usefulness of having dinner with the Board, I pretty much agree with much of what others have said. Specifically, I think it's useful (esp. for newer Councillors) to have an occasion to interact with the Board and senior ICANN staff OTHER than around a conference table; I also agree with Bruce, Tim and others that a more mixed approach (i.e. a structured discussion followed by eating; alternatively, as Chuck suggested, different topics at different tables tailored to those seated there) may help focus the discussions while allowing for more relaxed interaction to follow.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Cheers</DIV>

<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Calibri>The first attachment above</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us> <FONT face=Calibri>is a summary I created of the</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us> <FONT face=Calibri>suggested topics, names of Councilors who expressed support or opposition</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Calibri> for them</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Calibri> and excerpts of Councilor comments</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Calibri> for the three Council joint meetings scheduled for Brussels. I tried to be thorough and complete in creating this but wouldn</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Calibri>’</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Calibri>t be surprised if I missed some</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us> <FONT face=Calibri>or incorrectly showed support. Please communicate any errors you find.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Calibri>My next step recommendations for each meeting are as follows.</FONT></SPAN></P>

<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Calibri>Recognizing that it will be very unlikely that</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us> <FONT face=Calibri>we can cover all three topics in one hour, I suggest that I</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us> <FONT face=Calibri>send a message to</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us> <FONT face=Calibri>Janis</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us> <FONT face=Calibri>asking him to prioritize</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Calibri> the following three topics from his point of view:</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us></SPAN></P>

<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us>Once we get a response from Janis, we solicit Council volunteers to prepare 1-2 minute statements on one or more of the topics that would be communicated as individual or SG/Constituency statements in the meeting. Statements may include questions for the GAC.</SPAN></P>

<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Calibri>I will send a message to Chris Disspain saying that the GNSO Council supports the</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Calibri> topic of the DNS-CERT be the main topic of discussion in the joint ccNSO/GNSO meeting in Brussels with the understanding that the ccNSO may add other topics if desire</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Calibri>d and that I also proposed a small list of que</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Calibri>stions in that regard to</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us> <FONT face=Calibri>facilitate</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Calibri> discussion. For starters, I suggest the following questions:</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Calibri>1. </FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us> <FONT face=Calibri>What are the biggest concerns</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us> <FONT face=Calibri>of</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Calibri> ICANN DNS-CERT activities to date</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Calibri>?</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us></SPAN></P>

<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Calibri>3. </FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us> <FONT face=Calibri>In what ways could the ccNSO and GNSO work together in this area?</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us></SPAN></P>
