for some very good discussion on the role of the Council.<BR><BR>As a
starting point for continuing that discussion on this list, these are the
points we may wish to look at:<BR><BR>Should we have this session again at
next ICANN meeting?<BR>Does Council support the idea of the leaders talking
to group chairs?<BR>How to improve the communication between the groups -
standing number for informal group calls.<BR></BLOCKQUOTE>

<DIV>All fine, but I'd add to this the question Tim and I were debating about
how Council may deal with reports, and the broader question of Council freedom
to deliberate and act. </DIV>
