Looking over the proposed dates I have a couple of comments: Seems to be a very short period between meeting #39, 5-10 December 2010 (Latin America) and meeting #40, 13-18 March 2011, North America. Can expect little will be done for the month immediately after the December 2010 meeting, leaving a very compressed policy development period before the next meeting in March. Can expect this to have a rolling effect through the year, particularly as meeting #42 9-14 October is scheduled a month or more earlier than usual. Suggest staff attempt to move meeting #40 to early April 2011 (avoiding the major holidays/celebrations) and meeting #42 to late November 2011. The third meeting should anyway be scheduled later in the year (see next para.) Meeting #45, 14-19 October 2012 is also too early. Adequate time is needed for policy development and many decisions, particularly by the board, are made at the face to face meetings. Holding the third meeting of the year in October will most likely cause significant board decisions to move to special meetings of the board (telephonic or other) in November/December, not good for transparency, and also placing an additional burden on already over worked board members. Suggest moving #45 to Mid/late November 2012. - - - Any comments, thoughts?

Section 1.10 Delete after "At Large members expressed the view that ICANN should make a greater effort to [achieve] geographically diversity its organs, staff and activities." The recommendation to apply geographic diversity rules to senior staff and SO/AC chairs is impractical and ill advised. Section 1.13.4 Delete (see 1.10 above) "At the same time At-Large (ALAC) supports the position that the elected seats in each SO/AC/Board should be easier to follow and be populated with different individuals." Section 2.7 Delete "At-Large (ALAC) believes that ALAC would be well suited to offer ICANN this type of advice." ALAC does not have competency. Stronger independent review is needed. Section 2.8 If we are questioning the use of IRT/Independent Review Tribunal, when IRT is already used in ICANN then just say so. Section 3.4 Delete recommendation to hold at least 2 regional meetings. We don't need more meetings! Section 3.6 Delete (refers to recommendation on section 1.10) About "Proposal to Establish a Special ICANN Community Vote Requesting a Board Re-Examination of a Board Decision" We shouldn't include "maybes" in recommendations. I disagree about the Independent Review Tribunal, think further accountability mechanisms a good idea.
