face=Arial>HOIS RT Final Report, since it was out for public comment, I
think some SGs provided comments as well ACs (eg ALAC). As far as the board
requested an SO statement this should come from the GNSO or the council on
behalf. To my understandind this again would mean a condensed version of all
comments provided by individual GNSO members and the different SGs/Cs. I
wonder whether this is feasible.</FONT></SPAN></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

How do we want to proceed?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>GNSO Review</DIV>
<DIV>We have discussed two possible alternatives: drafting a request to the
SIC to delay the review and creating a small group to look at this issue. What
do we want to do?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Wrap-up and brain storming discussion</DIV>
<DIV>Do we want to start the ICANN meeting week with a similar, open ended
discussion, as the one we have during the wrap-up on Thursday?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Welcome letter to incoming CEO</DIV>
<DIV>It was suggested during the wrap-up that I write to Fadi to welcome him
on behalf of the Council. Please see below for a proposed note I have drafted.
Please voice any opposition to me sending this draft by COB Wednesday July
4.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT class=Apple-style-span color=#257dff>Dear Fadi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT class=Apple-style-span color=#257dff><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT class=Apple-style-span color=#257dff>On behalf of the GNSO Council,
I would like to welcome you to ICANN.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT class=Apple-style-span color=#257dff><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT class=Apple-style-span color=#257dff>Individual members of the GNSO
and of the GNSO Council have said that they greatly appreciated the
opportunity to meet with you informally in Prague. The GNSO Council as a whole
looks forward to working with Akram Atallah as interim CEO over the next few
months and with you as incoming CEO starting in October.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT class=Apple-style-span color=#257dff><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT class=Apple-style-span color=#257dff>The GNSO Council fully
appreciated how difficult the task of running an organization of ICANN's
complexity is. It is precisely what makes ICANN's model great - the diversity
of stakeholders and interests that are all given an equal voice within that
model - that also makes it so challenging.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT class=Apple-style-span color=#257dff><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT class=Apple-style-span color=#257dff>The GNSO Council remains fully
committed to ICANN's bottom-up, multistakeholder model and is delighted to be
able to work with you on strengthening it during your tenure as ICANN
CEO.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT class=Apple-style-span color=#257dff><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT class=Apple-style-span color=#257dff>Kind regards,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT class=Apple-style-span color=#257dff><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT class=Apple-style-span color=#257dff>Stéphane Van
Gelder</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT class=Apple-style-span color=#257dff>GNSO Council
Chair</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Lastly, I would draw your attention to the GAC Prague communiqué which
Bruce sent to the Council list yesterday and which contains several pieces of
advice to the Board that are either of relevance to work that the GNSO has
been involved in, or topics that are also of interest to us.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
