[council] ICANN Board Resolutions - 28-June-2005

[Michael D. Palage]

Dear Council Members:

I share your concern about the lack of proper communication.  I have tried
to take positive steps in the right direction by posting timely updates
about the scheduling of ICANN Board meetings and resolutions as well as
other key ICANN document postings. By the way, for those interested, the
.NET agreement is now available online at
http://www.icann.org/tlds/agreements/net. I also think the new format of the
Board/Council breakfast will also yield increased positive results.

Notwithstanding these positive steps I believe there is a significant
communication disconnect between the stakeholders and the ICANN Board/staff.
I am open to any suggestions that the council may have to improve these
lines of communication. However, I believe that Marilyn is on to something
with her last email. The Strategic and Operational Planning process is
probably the MOST vital mechanism in which stakeholders can have a voice in
the future of ICANN. For it is this mechanism that future evolutions of
ICANN, 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 will occur.

As always I am open to your suggestions.

Best regards,

Michael D. Palage

I personally don't see sufficient formal lines of communication or
process in place to facilitate the level of communication that the
community and stakeholders desire.

These must be built in order to facilitate the relationships - I'm not
sure that it works the other way around.
