As the GNSO Council liaison to the ccNSO Council, I have already suggested, because we meet at the same times during the three international meetings, that someone just off the Council be asked to fill the role. This brings up a question of funding. I think the position should be funded and a specific set of responsibilities attached. I am just making this up as I go along.<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal> Regardless, it seems a valuable suggestion. We have the same issue with the GAC - the major SOs and ACs are all more or less so busy that they consume almost all the time available at an ICANN meeting, making it pretty much impossible to effectively monitor one if you are an active participant in another. Liaisons are seeming a more valuable idea with each meeting, and it seem a practical necessity that they are not full serving members of the origin group in order to have the time to fully monitor the group they are outreaching to. And of course funding is important, as the ability to attend physical meetings is essential for the role.<br><br> Cheers<br><span style='color:#888888'><br><span class=hoenzb> David</span></span><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></blockquote></div></body></html>
