    The reason I am concerned about other communities, is not that they
    don't have legitimate questions or issues, but that the answers to
    their questions are useful to other communities - GAC is a bit
    unique there.&nbsp; I know, for example, that business questions about
    how to participate are useful to be heard by the operational
    communities because they are part of the answer to the question as
    early participation in proposal development should be accomplished
    through participation in the operational proposal development
    processes.&nbsp; I would assume the same would be true for a number of
    ALAC questions - I am sure that they would be relevant to business
    stakeholders...&nbsp; <br>
    <br>
    Will the Thursday forum be open to those no part of the ICANN
    meeting?&nbsp; I am also concerned if we only provide such outreach
    opportunities on the margin of ICANN events we will be leaving out a
    broad range of stakeholders who may most need interaction with us on
    how to participate.&nbsp; I am very sensitive to stakeholders who are
    concerned with the impression or potential that insiders of the
    ICANN processes have a privileged role or ability to influence the
    process...<br>

            is obviously a lot harder touch than me:&nbsp; I have a lot of
            sympathy for stakeholders in and outside the ICANN

            engaging in processes.&nbsp; I also think that the
            non-operational communities probably do need to understand
            how to engage and we need to understand what their concerns
            are (and any barriers to their engagement).&nbsp; So these
            meetings should not be a chore but an opportunity for us to
            make sure that what we receive on 15 January is in good

          <br>
          Based on Heather's comments and my experience interacting with
          a number of governments not accustomed to the multistakeholder
          process in the Net Mundial meeting, I think there may be a
          justification for a separate meeting with GAC...&nbsp; As much as I
          would prefer not to have such a separate meeting, I am not
          sure that they would actively participate in the extended
          forum your reference... We should be very specific however
          that is would be a one time accommodation to assist in
          acclimation to the process.&nbsp;
          <br>
          <br>
          On the forum session, perhaps we could set aside 45 minutes as
          Q&amp;A with communities?<br>
