<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Jonathan, dear fellow councillors,<br>
<br>
I am looking forward to a productive and cooperative term on the
Council and am very excited to be joining all of you in these
interesting times for both ICANN and the GNSO.<br>
<br>
As a way of introduction, I am the former secretary of the
Registrar Stakeholder Group and work with Key-Systems, a registrar
based in Germany. While I represent the registrars in the
contracted parties house, I will be open to input and ideas from
all directions if they serve to strengthen ICANN and the GNSO as a
whole as well as improve policy for all parties. <br>
<br>
A newcomer to the council, I will be looking for support from the
more experienced members to climb the steep learning curve Maria
referred to. I am looking forward to communicating with all of you
and work jointly on solutions to the issues before us.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
Volker Greimann<br>

<br>
Many thanks to you for this warm welcome. I'm really thrilled to
be joining the Council on behalf of the NCSG. <br>
<br>
Oddly enough, when I was on staff some years ago as GNSO Policy
Officer, Glen and I prepared the first formal inductions for new
councillors. Back then we focused a lot on then-current
substantive policy issues. <br>
<br>
But now, at least as steep a learning curve is the many processes
and procedures that have been developed. To be effective
councillors, I think us new people could probably do with equal
guidance on the 'how' of policy as well as the 'what'. <br>
<br>
In that vein, can I ask for a link to the operating procedures to
be circulated?<br>
<br>
All the best, Maria<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear GNSO Councillors,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It’s a week since ICANN 45 in Toronto
and I would like to take the opportunity to personally
update you with a little progress and the development of
my thinking in the interim.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Together with the Vice Chairs, we
took advantage of being in Toronto to meet with the GNSO
Policy staff and secretariat. The objective was to
discuss and understand key practical interactions and
ways of working together to ensure smooth operational
functioning of the Council. We met for a little over an
hour, had a productive, open discussion and I believe we
are all off to a good start.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As we commence working together as a
“new” council and begin the terms of our incoming
Councillors, I am very keen to extend a very warm
welcome to all those who joined us in Toronto. More
than that, I’d like to make sure we give the incoming
Councillors a proper introduction to and induction onto
the Council. With this in mind, I’ll be writing to them
in order to set up at least one meeting. If, from your
own experience of joining or working on the Council, you
think that there are specific imprtant areas we should
cover in an induction, please don’t hesitate to let me
know.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">During the course of the election
process, we touched on key areas that needed on going,
renewed or new attention and I’d like to mention these.
I think of them as strategic priorities and my list is
as follows:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p><span>1.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New
Roman""> </span></span>Work load
management and prioritisation</p>
<p><span>2.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New
Roman""> </span></span>Internal
relations and effective working of the Council</p>
<p><span>3.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New
Roman""> </span></span>External
relations and effective representation of the Council</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
I am sure most of you will think of other areas that you
may wish to see on this list. In any case, I look
forward to expanding on points 1-3 above with some
practical initiatives. In the meantime, and indeed for
the whole of my term as chair of the Council, I will
welcome any constructive input and feedback from you.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As discussed at various points, my
overarching objective is to work with you, the groups
you represent and the relevant ICANN staff to ensure
that the GNSO Council is effective, seen to be effective
and that our work is appreciated and respected.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Best wishes,<span class="HOEnZb"></span></p>
