chair<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>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 "<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN><SPAN
style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)">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></SPAN><BR><BR></SPAN></FONT><BR><BR><BR>
