<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks, Michele.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For the recent pre-meeting GNSO Policy webinar, the following approach was used for the updates in an attempt to make them more useful for the Council and focused on dialogue by covering the following items:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Timeline<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">What are the current challenges and issues?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">How can the Council and community assist?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">What to expect at the upcoming ICANN meeting<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If this did not achieve the desired focus, we are of course happy to hear how this should be modified. For example, would it be helpful if the slides are shared in advance of the meeting, and the webinar itself is just focused on Q & A
with the Council (and others that may be interested)? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In relation to the Policy Update webinar do note that there is only limited time that can be spend on GNSO topics as the time is shared with updates from other SO/ACs, but it may be sufficient in combination with the GNSO Policy briefings
that are published prior to every ICANN meeting? One difference is that the policy update webinar is staff led while the recent GNSO policy webinar was community led, with the PDP Chair(s) as the speakers.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Whatever you decide, staff stands ready to adjust as needed to make sure you that the Council has the information it needs to perform its role as manager of the PDP.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Best regards,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Updates are of course useful, but can be pre-meeting webinars/pre-reads/perhaps a 2 minute overview with one slide as an intro for the F2F. Then we need to know projected timelines, any issues/problems/blockages

<p class="MsoNormal">My own thoughts are that any “updates” should be more of a dialogue.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there something happening within the PDP that we need to know about?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is action from us required?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Council colleagues, <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">As we enter the final stretch of pre-ICANN63 planning I would like to do a bit of strategic thinking about how we prepare for PDP work in Barcelona.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have over the years tried two methods - devoting time in the Council weekend workshop to an update from each of our live PDPs, and the more recent alternative of a pre-public meeting GNSO policy webinar. There is also, I should add here
for context, a broader ICANN policy webinar that occurs prior to public meetings in which the GNSO participates, as do other SO/ACs.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The question here is how best/most useful/most efficient to update on our PDPs: on the ground in Barcelona, or advance by webinar? My principal feedback to staff to this point has been that while I think it's very helpful to have the updates
before we hit the ground at a f2f, it seems to duplicate efforts to hold both a generic policy webinar
<i>and </i>a GNSO specific policy webinar.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your thoughts very much appreciated!<o:p></o:p></p>
