otheres in tasks with some GAC members re the early and continuous
involvement of the GAC in PDP's. From this it seems to me that on one hand we
have elaborated a well defined policy development process but on the other hand
there may be some lack in communication and education of others outside the
GNSO. I'd like to suggest this as a topic for one of the next calls to think
about whether tis is a real issue and possible solutions.</FONT></SPAN></DIV><!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->

[council] GNSO Council - Looking ahead from ICANN 45<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV class=WordSection1>
<P class=MsoNormal>Dear GNSO Councillors,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></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.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></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.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></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.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></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:<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="TEXT-INDENT: -18pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2"
class=MsoListParagraph><![if !supportLists]><SPAN
style="mso-list: Ignore">1.<SPAN
style="FONT: 7pt 'Times New Roman'">
</SPAN></SPAN><![endif]>Work load management and prioritisation<o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="TEXT-INDENT: -18pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2"
class=MsoListParagraph><![if !supportLists]><SPAN
style="mso-list: Ignore">2.<SPAN
style="FONT: 7pt 'Times New Roman'">
</SPAN></SPAN><![endif]>Internal relations and effective working of the
Council<o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="TEXT-INDENT: -18pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2"
class=MsoListParagraph><![if !supportLists]><SPAN
style="mso-list: Ignore">3.<SPAN
style="FONT: 7pt 'Times New Roman'">
</SPAN></SPAN><![endif]>External relations and effective representation of the
Council<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></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.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></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.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Best wishes,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
