Hello Marilyn,
 
Are you able to recommend an amount needed to cover the meeting room and
organizational expenses?

Regards,

        Bruce, Glen

         

        Under the item "Strategic Plan", I would like to add an agenda
item to propose that interested Councilors agree to organize a
consultative workshop on the ICANN Strategic Plan for the purpose of
understanding the SP; and developing comments and recommendations for
the public comment process. I propose that the Council authorize funding
from its reserve budget of an amount needed to cover a meeting room and
organizational expenses. The consultation could be inclusive of
interested constituency members and liaisons, as well as possibly
members of the other SOs, who might wish to participate. I think this
could best be accomplished by  having an informal working group of
interested parties to organize.  I would think that the ICANN staff
should be invited to present the Strategic Plan as part of such a
workshop. 

         

        I'd like to have a discussion within Council for feedback from
fellow Councilors, and seek interest as well as approval of funding for
the meeting costs. It would be necessary to hold the meeting by early
February at the latest in order to meet the comment deadline of February
28.
