<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Hi,<br>
in relation with the questions sent by Adrian and Wolf, these are some comments
and I am happy to further explain these ideas during the conference call next
Friday.<br>
<br>
Adrian, my mission as a NonCom Appointee is to participate in GNSO with a
neutral perspective placing the broad public interest ahead of any particular
interests. In my view, a chair is a facilitator and a coordinator of the work
of the GNSO, including all different interests and perspectives of all the
council members and their stakeholder groups as well.<br>
<br>
As you may recall, we NCAs could be also non voting members of the GNSO, which
is the case of Andrei now. So there could be even a non voting chair. <br>
<br>
I have shared working teams, drafting teams and several other activities in my
three years serving the GNSO with almos all of the council members and dialogue
has been always open, so I am happy to answer any other question or doubt you
may have.<br>
<br>
I would apprecialte if you could clarify the concept "platform"
included in your question.<br>
<br>
<br>
Wolf, for me the key issue in the future of GNSO is broaden its perspective
through outreach.<br>
<br>
In the Constituency Operations Working Team that I have chaired as part of the
GNSO restructuring process, we have produced a very interesting document about
outreach that is now under final revision by the OSC and will soon will be
available for GNSO revision. (Special thanks to Debbie Hughes that chaired the
subworking team, Krista Papac, Claudio DiGangi, Rafik Dammak, Tony Harris and
Michael Young for their active participation in drafting the document).<br>
<br>
If GNSO could broaden participation including a more diverse perspective and
more active participation from a wider universe, then it would be easier to have
more participants from different stakeholder groups into different projects.<br>
<br>
As we learned in the prioritization working group, where you were a very active
member, all projects have their impact and are relevant and interesting for
different councilors and for their stakeholdergroups. So if more
representatives can actively participate in different activities then
prioritization could be more a managerial issue than a problem of
administrating lack of time and resources.<br>
<br>
In relation with your question on how to "<span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>avoid the council's position in
the policy development process becoming more and more weakened?", again I
think that the answer is having a GNSO with a broader perspective, and this
could be achieved through an outreach effort.<br>
<br>
I will be happy to explain this further or answer other questions next
Thrusday.<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
<br>
Olga<br>
