All,
 
In response to this note, we received a number of expressions of interest as follows:
 
Petter Rindforth <petter.rindforth at fenixlegal.eu> 
Joy Liddicoat <joy at apc.org> 
Ching Chiao  <chiao at registry.asia> 
Maria Farrell  <maria.farrell at gmail.com> 
Wendy Seltzer  wendy at seltzer.com
 
However, ideally we’d like to keep the group to 2 or 3, including our ccNSO liaison, John Berard.
It looks like the ccNSO will have 2.
 
So … two questions:
 
1.       John Berard – Are you available as part of this group?
2.       From the other volunteers, are any of you particularly passionate about participating and / or not too worried about not participating?
 
Thank-you.
 
 
Jonathan

Subject: [council] Meet wiht ccNSO in Beijing



All,

We have the opportunity to meet with the ccNSO Beijing and have a scheduled a meeting slot to do so.  In order for it to go ahead and have a good chance of succeeding, we need to plan for it in advance.

Last week, I talked with Lesley Cowley (ccNSO Chair) to discuss the potential for the meeting and the possible agenda items, including those which had been suggested by Wolfgang, Maria and Petter and possibly others on our mailing list.  The objective in talking with Leslie objective was to come up with a number of areas which are likely to be of mutual interest and then to find an agreed way for developing and preparing for these for discussion together. 

We reviewed a number of areas / topics and came out with a non-exclusive short-list that seemed to be of mutual interest as follows:

1.       Providing input and advice, often at short notice.  
A discussion and sharing of the experience of dealing with the various requests that come to both of our groups in order to provide advice or input, often at short notice or at unpredictable times, and not linked to current scheduled work.  This discussion topic could include and link into the broader issue and experience of capacity planning, work group participation and work scheduling and planning where the ccNSO has some interesting approaches.
2.       The impact of gTLDs on ICANN.  
How significant might this be and are existing structures and approaches adequate to absorb and deal with this?
3.       Global Internet Governance.  
Looking at issues on an international level and how these may impact on ICANN and the multi-stakeholder model.  Shared experiences from global forums and the issues and lessons arriving.

We agreed that organising and preparing for an agenda containing some or all of the above (or indeed any other relevant topics) was best handled by a smaller group comprised of members of both GNSO & ccNSO. This type of approach as worked well for the ccNSO in the past.  The group could comprise a couple of reps from each of GNSO and ccNSO and include the liaisons (if not already one of the two) so making a manageable small group of 4-6 people.

I trust that you will be supportive of this approach or something similar and look forward to any comments or input.  If you would like to volunteer to be on the small group which will organise and plan for this session, please do so.

Thank-you,


Jonathan
