Topics for our interactions with the Board/GAC and ccNSO and<br>2. Ideas for sessions for our work weekend.<br><br>As added context, I should say that the Council leadership is under greater pressure than usual to provide this earlier than usual (Staff have been put under pressure due to the delay in publishing the CR agenda that people complained about there).<br><br>I should also add that I have asked Jeff, who has kindly volunteered (or was kindly volunteered by me, whichever way you want to see it ;) ) to look after our Prague agenda, to ensure that we cut down on pure working lunch sessions. I find these sessions are an organizational nightmare as people need time to have their lunch, which cost down on the time afforded to the topic we are scheduled to work on.<br><br>So in short, please make a greater effort than usual to provide ideas for 1 and 2 above. These sessions, both our interactions with other groups and our own working sessions, should be the result of Council-wide deliberations so that they are truly effective and have greater meaning for the Council as a whole.<br><br>Thanks for your help in this endeavor.<br><br>Stéphane Van Gelder<br>Directeur Général / General manager<br>INDOM Group NBT France<br>----------------<br>Head of Domain Operations<br>Group NBT<br><br><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'>___________________________________________________________<br>Thomas Rickert, Rechtsanwalt<br>Schollmeyer & Rickert Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft m.b.H.
