<div>Thanks for the update, John. Did the ccNSO have any other comments about the composition of the proposed “Steering Committee”?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>During a call yesterday with ICANN Staff, I noted that allocating 2 reps from the GNSO was not adequate, and that the selection process must be open, transparent, predictable, etc. My concern is that ICANN will “pick its jury” in a top-down fashion, with
the goal of steering the outcome.</div>

<div>Thanks—</div>

<div>
<div>All,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Today's ccNSO Council meeting, plagued by lack of quorum, had a decided Internet governance focus. In fact, the Council recently launched a quite useful resource page on the subject:
<a href="http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/igrg.htm">http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/igrg.htm</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>The IANA transition also drew attention. It is hoped that the steering committee structure planned by ICANN can be expanded to allow for two specific representatives from the ccNSO and gTLD registry stakeholder group, selected by the groups themselves.
The point is that the ccNSO feels it is an "affected party" and should have specific input.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
