RE: [council] can somebody remind me what the "Teresa Swinehart Update" item is on Sunday?


All,

This is where I believe we have got to on this subject:

1. There is a general concern about initiatives that are not community
initiated / aka bottom up.  This is part of the conversation we may wish to
have with Fadi &/or the Board (bearing in mind that Fadi is on the board).

2. It will be helpful to understand exactly where we are with the strategy
panels, where the process goes from here and what we (as a Council and
within our respective parts of the community) can usefully do to engage with
that process.  This is a key part of the conversation we can have with
Theresa on Sunday.  What else could or should we be discussing with Theresa?

3. The Council intends to prepare a written submission as part of the public
comment on strategy panels.  In particular, we are likely to respond to the
work of the MSI panel since that output / work appears to relate closely to
that of the GNSO & GNSO Council.  
Here we can:
a. Recognise any value in the work and provide constructive criticism
b. Link it to any existing initiatives from the Council
c. Link it (if / where appropriate) to the recommendations of ATRT2

Thanks,


Jonathan

Hi,

I guess I still consider it a useful bag of tricks we can dig into anytime
we start figuring out how to do something.

I do not think there is any obligation on the GNSO, or anyone else for that
matter, to use the content of panel reports unless they look useful.

And despite being a Ms.Grinch, though perhaps not the grinchiest grinch, on
this whole panel idea, I think there are bunches of ideas worth thinking
about.
