<p class="MsoNormal"><b>“2. Meeting with the Generic Names Supporting Organisation (GNSO)<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The GAC met with the GNSO and noted the application of the new “quick look” mechanism related to the development of an issues paper on future directory services; and the value of more regular inter-sessional conference calls between the
GAC and GNSO leadership groups. The GAC supported an extension of the pilot scheme of a GNSO Council Liaison to the GAC.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">GAC welcomed the development by GNSO of a mechanism for responding to GAC advice so that the Board receives a clear indication of GNSO policy that is relevant to such advice.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There was an exchange of views on the respective GAC and GNSO approaches to the work of the Cross Community Working Group to Develop an IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal on Naming Related Functions (CWG-Stewardship) and the Cross Community
Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability (CCWG-Accountability).”<o:p></o:p></p>
