color:#1F497D'>Could somebody explain me more in depth why should the GNSO
liaison to the GAC needs to be funded? GNSO people would attend ICANN meetings
in any case. Why does this task need to be paid? The liaison doesn´t need to be
present at all GAC sessions, just those which are interesting for the GNSO.
Thus, he or she can also attend part of the GNSO meetings.</span><span lang=ES><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span class=apple-tab-span> </span>The assumption
is that being a GNSO councillor is sufficiently time consuming as to allow only
very minimal time for liaison with the GAC. A liaison who attended only GAC
sessions that did not clash with important council sessions would be of very
limited use. And given how much time the GAC spends discussing new gTLDs, a
great deal of their meetings are relevant to the GNSO - any discussion relevant
to gTLDs is potentially relevant to the GNSO. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span class=apple-tab-span> </span>So the liaison
would be in addition to the existing councillors, and would spend a lot of
their time at ICANN meetings in the GAC, including some time normally spent on
council business (or constituency or stakeholder group sessions, which
councillors are normally expected to attend to ensure they are able to communicate
the views of those they represent). <o:p></o:p></p>

Suzanne's suggestion that staff could possibly put some ideas together in
relation to the concept of a reverse liaison, Olof and I had a little
brainstorm and came up with the attached which as a first step tries to
identify what the respective objectives and expectations are. Fleshing out that
part of the conversation further may assist in determining whether or not a
'reverse liaison' would be the best mechanism to achieve the expectations. We
also tried to identify a number of questions that would need to be addressed
should it be determined that a liaison is the way to go, as well as some
possible alternatives that could be considered should it be decided that a
liaison is not the most effective mechanism to achieve these objectives.</span><span

the issue of funding of a possible liaison has come up on various occasions,
Olof and I have also discussed whether it would be an idea to submit a special
budget request on behalf of the GNSO and GAC that would foresee for funding for
a liaison to attend the ICANN meetings in FY15. This could be presented as a
pilot project which would allow the GNSO-GAC to experiment with this position
and consider at the end of FY15 whether this should be continued as a pilot,
transformed into a fixed funded slot or discarded. Obviously, we are still in
the early phases of determining whether a liaison is the way to go and the
nature of that role, but unfortunately, the deadline for special budget
requests is 7 March. If you all think this would be a helpful approach, Olof
and I could go ahead and complete the required forms for your review, noting
that at any point the GNSO-GAC could decide to withdraw the request should a
different approach be pursued. </span><span lang=ES><o:p></o:p></span></p>
