<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody">The leadership team is fully convinced that in order to reach the desired outcomes of our 3 days together next week, advanced reading/preparation is essential. We three commit to full preparation
to lead by example, and we hope that this inspires you to do the same. The ultimate goal is to reach a common understanding of what our governance documents say and what expectations they have of us as individuals and a group - incomplete recollections from
having read the documents a long time ago, or having read only parts of documents and not the whole, or assumptions about what the documents say based on what you've heard are not going to get us there. So, long time ICANNers and newbies alike, let's seize
the opportunity to become experts in our own procedures; I'm confident this will pay dividends down the road in allowing us to focus on the substance of issues without getting bogged down in procedural questions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
