<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>I fully agree with you that GAC
colleagues, and even the whole ICANN community, are fully utilized by the IANA
transition and ICANN accountability processes and that we have to be very
specific in what we ask for in order to expect responses ..<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:black'>To me, triggering
the discussion and encouraging GAC responses, I believe, should be through
sharing a concrete proposal (well-thought through by the group, including GAC
members with GNSO experience like yourself and Mark) with specific questions
that we may have, or may suggest, to brainstorm on the proposal .. I also
believe that, optimally, this should be shared well in advance of the Singapore
meeting .. Such discussion may end by adopting the proposal as is, agreeing to
the proposal with certain amendments, or proposing a completely different
approach or mechanism .. but to trigger the discussion we have to have
something on the table ..</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>

willing to follow any approach we agree upon .. I fully agree with your
proposal that &#8220;</span><span style='color:#1F497D'>we could consider providing
more concrete information and/or context by using a straw man as a means of
testing some of the concepts we&#8217;re discussing</span><span style='color:black'>&#8221;
.. but I thought a pre-requisite to this testing would be agreeing on the
details of what we intend to test .. So allow me to seek further clarification
on how can we demonstrate this quick-look Triage committee mechanism in
practice ..<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Hi Jonathan and Manal, before
going out to the whole group, I wanted to send along a heads up that I will not
be able to join next Tuesday&#8217;s call as I&#8217;ll be on a panel that morning.&nbsp;
As I was called away to an unexpected meeting for the last call, I&#8217;m mindful of
becoming woefully behind.&nbsp; I did want to share an impression from the
notes or recap of the most recent call, which is that we may either be at or
nearing a point in our group deliberations where we are further ahead of our
respective communities than we might like to be.&nbsp; I&#8217;m fairly confident
that the near silence we&#8217;re hearing on the GAC side is not at all due to
disinterest; rather, I think a majority of our colleagues don&#8217;t know what it is
we want from them.&nbsp; Not to mention the fact that the two highest
priorities on everyone&#8217;s plate right now are the IANA transition and ICANN
accountability processes.</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>So I&#8217;m wondering if we could
consider providing more concrete information and/or context by using a straw
man as a means of testing some of the concepts we&#8217;re discussing.&nbsp; For
example, wouldn&#8217;t the concept of a triage committee for the GAC have more
resonance is we could demonstrate how it would actually work (e.g. vice
theoretically) in practice?&nbsp; And I remain very keen to know whether, on
the GNSO side, we could reach agreement on some triggers that would be used at
the outset (e.g. at the time of a request for an Issues Report) to determine
whether to engage the GAC at that moment in time?&nbsp; My proposals for near
term testing in terms of triggers would be anything related to international
treaties that governments sign and national laws.&nbsp; If whatever the GNSO
determined might require a PDP did touch on treaties or national laws, would it
make sense to have an exchange between the GNSO and the GAC from the
beginning?&nbsp; This isn&#8217;t happening now, and the assumption seems to be that
it&#8217;s up to the GAC to provide comments when the Issues Report is actually
posted.&nbsp; We have previous examples where this should have happened, but
did not (e.g. IGO-INGO protections).&nbsp; The counter argument could be made
that the GNSO could have easily engaged the GAC on its own initiative, since
this particular PDP was initiated after the GAC had provided advice.&nbsp; We
are arguably/hopefully trying to avoid these situations in the future, which
suggests some change in our respective work cultures/habits.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I look forward to your thoughts
on this, as well as on any other work I could/should be taking on at the
moment.&nbsp; In terms of preparing for Singapore, I also think we should
consider a slightly different approach to updating the GAC and the GNSO.&nbsp;
Quite candidly, I don&#8217;t know how the GNSO updates are structured, but the GAC
exchanges aren&#8217;t triggering exchanges per se; it&#8217;s the Consultation Group
providing an update.&nbsp; So I&#8217;d like to explore some alternatives with you
before proposing ideas to the rest of the group.&nbsp; Thanks in advance, and
best regards, Suz</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
