Item 8: Initial planning for LA (10 min)

8.1 Review suggestion for full day equivalent session on New gTLD 
recommendations
It has been suggested that it would be useful to do a full day's meeting 
(perhaps split into two sessions on different days) to cover all of the 
recommendations in the New gTLD PDP that will have been sent on to the 
board by then. Different council members could take leadership of 
discussion section on each of the recommendations.

8.2 - suggestion for restructuring Public Forum + Public meetings

Proposal to try an experiment with the Public Forum and public council 
meeting in LA. Instead of the current arrangement of a meeting for 
listening and then a meeting for talking, we could divide a 4 hour 
meeting up into topical sections. Each topic could then be structured to 
include:
- Constituency Overview on the Topic
- Public comment on the topic
- Council discussion and resolution on the Topic.

8.3 other planning issues

Item 9: Any Other Business (10 min)
