OK.  Will check MOU for timelines with respect to new TLDs.

We also need to think about the "review of the GNSO" which is mentioned
in the ICANN bylaws.

We should think about doing are own internal review as a starting point.
Part of this would be reviewing the timelines in the current bylaws and
determine whether they are realistic in practice given that the policy
development structure is essentially industry self-regulation.  Our
timelines probably need to be looked in the context of similar processes
such as ITU standards and IETF standards - both of which have longer
timeframes then envisaged in the bylaws.

With respect to IDNs - we could probably consider that at the meeting in
KL after the workshop.

A good idea.  Hopefully Paul Verhoef will be able to attend as the
meeting time is more appropriate for his time zone than California.

I will see what we can arrange - perhaps a breakfast of lunch together
one day.

I am not sure if the ccNSO Council will be in place by then.
I will follow up.
