<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">1) in terms of scheduling; and
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">2) to provide more opportunities for Board/GAC/GNSO Council trilateral discussions on substantive topics of common interest.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">There should be a better process for developing the ICANN schedule and there certainly should be predictability in terms of Council meetings with the ICANN Board, ICANN CEO, the GAC and others.
If we could agree on a standard schedule for meetings A & C, that may help relieve some of the angst that we and staff have to endure each time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">On the second point, I really think we would benefit from organized and sometimes moderated trilateral discussions, rather than the Board and GAC/ the Council and the Board/ and the GAC and the
Council having separate discussions on the same subject. The continuous back and forth on the IGO acronym and Red Cross issues are a case in point. Perhaps this could have been circumvented if there had been an opportunity for open communication across the
three groups. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
