[council] Our Toronto meetings

[Stéphane Van Gelder <stephane.vangelder@xxxxxxxxx>]

Councillors,

I just wanted to draw your attention to a couple of things with regards to our 
Toronto agenda. Extreme scheduling challenges have meant that we will not be 
meeting with two of our regular meeting partners, the ccNSO and the GAC. The 
GAC's High Level meeting is taking up a lot of bandwidth in Toronto and we have 
had to accommodate that. So has the ccNSO.

We are currently working with the ccNSO leadership on a joint Chair/VIce Chairs 
meeting and I will let you know if that happens.

Our meeting with the Board will happen as usual. And as Glen and Wolf have 
worked so hard to complete our weekend schedule, they have included a 
discussion session on that.

I would like to suggest that we include, as topics for our discussion with the 
Board, 1) the GNSO review and 2) the impact of new gTLDs.

Finally, just to remind you that we are trying a new session in Toronto which 
is the lead-in brainstorming session. You will all remember that this has been 
enacted after it was suggested during our Prague wrap-up, and I am very please 
to see it on our agenda.

Thanks,
